Academic Writing for International Students of Science / Jane Bottomley

Public ISBD Titre : Academic Writing for International Students of Science Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jane Bottomley, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 172 p. Format : 24.6 x 18.9 x 0.9 centimetres (0.51 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-83241-0 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Academic  Writing. Résumé : Academic Writing for International Students of Science will help international students to develop their command of academic scientific writing in English. It guides students through the writing process itself, and will help them to produce clear, well-written and well-organised essays and reports. The book covers a range of issues such as how to explain complex ideas clearly and concisely, how to develop a coherent argument, and how to avoid plagiarism by making effective reference to sources. Through detailed analysis of authentic scientific texts, the book will enhance students' understanding of the nature of academic scientific writing. This will enable them to understand how language and discourse function in a real scientific context. The texts serve as models of good writing and are followed by practice activities which will help students to develop their own writing skills. Key topics include: * the writing process; * academic scientific style; * sentence structure; * paragraph development; * referring to sources; * coherence, argument and critical thinking; * academic and scientific conventions. This book will be an invaluable companion to those studying for a science or technology degree in an English-speaking institution. Informative study boxes, model answers and a clear, comprehensive answer key mean that the book can be used for self-study or with guidance in the classroom.

Academic Writing / Stephen Bailey

Public ISBD Titre : Academic Writing : A Handbook for International Students Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Stephen Bailey, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 284 p.

Résumé : Most international students need to write essays and reports for exams and coursework, but writing good academic English is one of the most demanding tasks students face. This new, fourth edition of Academic Writing: A Handbook for International Students has been completely revised to help students reach this goal. The four main parts of Academic Writing are: * The writing process * Elements of writing * Vocabulary for writing * Writing models Each part is divided into short units which contain examples, explanations and exercises, for use in the classroom or for self-study. The units are clearly organised to allow teachers and students find the help they need with writing tasks, while cross-referencing allows easy access to relevant sections. In the first part, each stage of the writing process is demonstrated and practised, from selecting suitable sources, reading, note-making and planning through to re-writing and proof-reading. The fourth edition of this popular course builds on the success of the earlier editions, and has a special focus on the vital topic of academic vocabulary in part three, Vocabulary for Writing. Part three deals with areas such as nouns and adjectives, adverbs and verbs, synonyms, prefixes and prepositions, in an academic context. More key features of the book include: * All elements of writing are clearly explained, with a full glossary for reference * Models provided for all types of academic texts: essays, reports, reviews and case-studies * Full range of practice exercises, with answer key included * Use of authentic academic texts * A companion website offers further practice with a range of additional exercises * Fully updated, with sections on finding electronic sources and evaluating internet material All international students wanting to maximise their academic potential will find this practical and easy-to-use book an invaluable guide to writing in English for their degree courses.
