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 nn
