English for Academic Writing is intended to give basic essential guidelines of English for academic writing to upper-intermediate and advanced students of English, particularly students at the graduate level in English, Linguistics, and other related fields. The book is mainly designed to serve as a handbook for students who would like to improve English academic writing skills on their own. Also, teachers of academic writing may take some relevant units to be part of their materials for a course in English for academic writing. The book contains seven units. Each unit is designed to be a self-contained tutorial on a particular topic in academic writing; it includes detailed explanations as well as many examples from various authentic sources to illustrate each topic of discussion. Moreover, since writing and reading are integrated skills, the explanations of each main topic in all units are accompanied by reading and writing exercises. The purposes of reading exercises are to give more examples of academic texts to students and to allow them to analyze the examples based on what they have learned in each unit. As for writing exercises, the students will practice writing different forms of academic work to improve their writing skills. Students can look for more practice exercises in the list of suggested readings and supplementary exercises at the end of every unit. In addition, at the end of the book, other study aids are provided, including a glossary which gives the definitions and examples of the technical terms mentioned in all units and the answer key which gives some possible answers to the questions in the exercises in all the units.
