Publisher's Synopsis
English for Academic Study: Extended Writing and Research Skills
English for academic study: Extended Writing & Research Skills takes students step by step through the process of producing an extended piece of academic writing, helping them to develop the writing and research skills necessary for the task. Students make use of the authentic source materials that accompany the course to produce their own piece of extended writing. They are then encouraged to use the strategies they have learnt to produce a second piece of writing, within their own field of study.
The approach allows students to work independently, supported by detailed information and advice, as well as model answers provided in both the Course Book and the Teacher's Book.
The 2009 edition of EAS Extended Writing & Research Skills has been fully revised for ease of use. As well as a new format, the Course Book now comes with a book map, unit summaries and a comprehensive glossary of terms. Each unit has weblinks offering additional information and activities. A dedicated website, www.englishforacademicstudy.com, offers further teacher resources.
This book can be used in conjunction with the following books in the English for academic study series, also published by Garnet Education: EAS Reading, EAS Writing, EAS Listening, EAS Speaking, EAS Vocabulary and EAS Pronunciation.
