Teachers of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) will learn which areas of writing and grammar to focus on including readability, word order, sentence length, paragraphing, ambiguity and punctuation.

A resource book of photocopiable activities for special days in the year. The Book of Days is a resource book of photocopiable skills material based around particular days of the year. The book is primarily aimed at adults and young adults and provides a handy addition to any course by offering: * 30 flexible activities featuring innovative discussion texts and a variety of tasks designed to stimulate conversation and at the same time inform learners of the origins and customs of world festivals * detailed teacher's notes with useful background information about the days and suggestions for differentiation * authentic listening material providing learners with first-hand accounts of world festivals.

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.

Focusing on practical applications, this guide assists university students and researchers in enhancing their English writing skills using chatbots and machine translation. It provides strategies for correcting research papers and crafting emails, letters, and presentation materials. Additionally, English-speaking language editors, translators, and EAP teachers will benefit from its insights, making it a valuable resource for improving academic communication.

This book focuses on the aspect that causes non-native researchers the most problems when writing a scientific paper for publication in international journals and when presenting their results at conferences: the use of English.

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)

This book is tailored for university students with at least 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 EAP teachers and students to select sections that best meet their needs, facilitating courses that can 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 and conference presentations but also by engagement in interdisciplinary projects and societal support. Each chapter focuses on specific skills, such as script preparation, pronunciation, and the effective use of visuals, while also addressing key moments in presentations, like how to effectively conclude and thank the audience. This final slide serves as a platform for seeking collaborations and assistance. The book highlights the aims of presentation components through comparisons with non-academic contexts where similar skills are applicable. It is practical, featuring screenshots from real presentations by PhD students, and aims to provide an enjoyable learning experience. Other titles in the series include Essential English Grammar and Communication Strategies.
