Introduction
Overview
This textbook is designed to help graduate students with their
academic writing.
It is designed for nonnative speakers of English.
It has evolved out of both research and teaching experience.
The general approach is rhetorical; that is, it focuses on making
a good impression with academic writing.
The book is as much concerned with developing academic
writers as it is with improving academic texts.
The tasks, activities, and discussions are richly varied, ranging
from small-scale language points to studying the discourse of a
chosen discipline.
The book is fast paced, opening with a basic orientation and
closing with writing an article for publication.
With the help of the accompanying commentary, students and
scholars should be able to use this volume profitably on their own.
