Writing academic English (4th ed)

Now in its fourth edition, "Writing Academic English", by Alice Oshima and Ann Hogue, is the essential writing text to prepare high-intermediate and advanced college or college-bound English language learners for academic success.

It features: a step-by-step approach that guides students through the process of writing paragraphs and essays; clear models and varied practice that help students to develop confidence and a mature writing style; examples with academic content prime students for college work; and appendices, which offer easy reference for key writing, grammar, and research information.

New to the Fourth Edition includes: a chapter dedicated to each pattern of essay organization; a chapter on argumentation and using material from outside sources; thought-provoking readings from authentic sources; an expanded chapter on summary and paraphrase; and instruction in the basics of research and documentation. "The Longman Academic Writing Series" also includes "First Steps in Academic Writing" and "Introduction to Academic Writing, Second Edition".
