    • 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.

      Intermediate Level

      • 7 hodin čítania

      This book is for university students, with at least a mid-intermediate level of English. It is designed both for self-study and also as a support for a course on academic communication. It can thus be used alongside the companion volumes: Writing an Academic Paper in English and Giving an Academic Presentation in English. The book focuses only on those areas that are either the most commonly found in academic communication and/or cause the most problems. It is thus considerably more accessible than a traditional grammar or style guide. Grammar coverage includes: articles (a/an, the), countable vs uncountable nouns, modal verbs (can, may, could, might), comparisons, present and past tenses, link words, prepositions, and verbs that cause grammatical difficulties. There is a strong focus on those elements that make a paper more readable, and a presentation more accessible and memorable: clarity and empathy, sentence length, word order, and punctuation. There are chapters on two key areas of communication in academia: writing emails to editors, drafting a CV/resume. The book is laid out simply, with short explanations, and lots of example sentences (plus typical mistakes)
