About the book
This work takes a refreshing approach to the academic writing course, providing easily understandable language set within a clear structure. This format allows students to improve their writing without slowing their progress with complex vocabulary. Material is divided into short, easily manageable sections allowing teachers and students the flexibility they need to emphasise certain aspects or when time is short. Explanations are followed by examples to reinforce progress.
