Writing an Academic Paper in English

Mehr zum Buch

This resource is tailored for university students with a mid-intermediate level of English and can be integrated into an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course, either independently or alongside a companion volume. The chapters are designed to be independent, allowing teachers and students to select sections that best meet their needs, enabling courses to range from 20 to over 60 hours. An introductory chapter discusses the evolving role of academics, emphasizing that success is measured not just by publications but also by engagement in interdisciplinary projects and societal support. Each chapter focuses on a specific section of a research paper (e.g., Abstract, Introduction, Methods) and starts with a discussion exercise to clarify the purpose of each section. Comparisons with non-academic scenarios illustrate similar skills. The book provides numerous concise examples and templates to emphasize key points. Students learn the appropriate style (we vs. impersonal), correct tenses for each section, common mistakes, and useful phrases. The course is designed to be practical and enjoyable. Other titles in the series include resources on academic presentations and essential grammar. The author has extensive experience training PhD students and researchers globally and co-founded an editing agency for non-native English speakers.
