Academic Writing for Graduate Students

\nLike its predecessor, the third edition of Academic Writing for Graduate Students explains understanding the intended audience, the purpose of the paper, and academic genres; includes the use of task-based methodology, analytic group discussion, and genre consciousness-raising; shows how to write summaries and critiques; features Language Focus sections that address linguistic elements as they affect the wider rhetorical objectives; and helps students position themselves as junior scholars in their academic communities. \nAmong the many changes in the third edition: \n*newer, longer, and more authentic texts and examples \n*greater discipline variety in texts (added texts from hard sciences and engineering) \n*more in-depth treatment of research articles \n*greater emphasis on vocabulary issues \n*revised flow-of-ideas section \n*additional tasks that require students to do their own research \n*more corpus-informed content \n*binding that allows the book to lay flat when open. \n \nThe Commentary (teacher's notes and key) (978-0-472-03506-9) has been revised expanded. \n \n\n
