Expertly written, well-structured, addesses areas that are of concern to non-English speaking background students. Can be used both in class and as a set of assignments.
This book could be appropriate for undergraduates or foundation students (pre-undergraduates). For my subject, business studies, it would be undoubtedly useful. At the moment, I am not sure if we are running a specialist writing class. If I encounter who is responsible for such a class (assuming one exists), I will mention this title because its coverage and detail are good. Students would definitely benefit from digesting and applying it. I cannot fault the content; I am just unsure whether it is a match for our modules. I ordered it assuming it was oriented toward formal academic writing, such as journal style. There is content that is relevant to academic writing at the publication level, but I think the standard it focusses on is functional, plain writing skills. If that is what your students need, this book is suitable.
Many foreign students on the course who may need access to extra materials on their own
Very companion textbook for undergraduate and graduate students
This well-organised book is very good, and packed with personal insight. There isn't a reader who won't find something of use within its covers. Glad to have encountered this useful text.
