El. knyga: English for Academic Research: Writing Exercises

This book is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English (long sentences, redundancy, poor structure etc.).





The exercises in this new edition are organized into twelve chapters on:





 









 punctuation and spelling word order writing short sentences and paragraphs link words - connecting phrases and sentences together being concise and removing redundancy ambiguity and political correctness paraphrasing and avoiding plagiarism defining, comparing, evaluating and highlighting anticipating possible objections, indicating level of certainty, discussing limitations, hedging, future work using Large Language Models for writing papers, emails and presentation scripts





Some exercises require no actual writing but simply choosing between various options. In those exercises where extended writing is required, model answers are given.





The exercises can also be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes. 





 





The book can be used in conjunction with the other exercise books in the series and is cross-referenced to:
