Academic Writing in English A Process-Based Approach

Janene van Loon, Arnoud Thüss, Nicole Schmidt & Kevin Haines

For second-language writers, academic writing in English can be very challen­ ging. Non-native English students can apply structural, linguistic and stylistic skills and strategies, to help them pro- duce English academic texts. This book aims to increase learners’ awareness and understanding of these skills and strate- gies, resulting in a more mature text and a more mature writer. Academic Writing in English takes a process-based approach. Students are guided through the academic writing process, using their own material as the focus of this writing practice. During this process, learners are encouraged to practice new techniques at various levels of difficulty and to reflect not only on their own written work but also on the work of their peers. Students are exposed to high-quality models of academic writing, from explanatory and argumentative essays to research reports and investigative business reports. The texts are accompanied by a large number of exercises which enable them to develop their proficiency in written English from B2 to C1 level.
