      English for Writing Research Papers2023
    • Writing an Academic Paper in English

      Intermediate Level

      • 207 pages
      • 8 hours of reading

      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.

      Writing an Academic Paper in English2022
    • This book analyzes referees' reports and editor letters to identify why non-native researchers' papers are often rejected due to English language issues, such as long sentences, redundancy, and poor structure. Drawing from errors in approximately 5,000 papers, 3,000 emails, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1,000 hours of teaching, it offers a comprehensive approach to improving academic writing. The content is divided into ten chapters covering topics like punctuation, word order, concise writing, linking phrases, ambiguity, and effective section writing. Some exercises focus on selecting options rather than writing, promoting self-study and quick progress, while others provide model answers for extended writing tasks. Similar exercise types are repeated across various contexts, reinforcing key concepts like conciseness in papers, reports, and emails. This repetition aids in revision and can be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes. Additionally, the book complements other titles in the series and is cross-referenced with resources on usage, style, grammar, and writing research papers.
