Academic Writing for International Students of Business and Economics (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The new fourth edition of this popular book has been written to help international students of Business and Economics succeed in writing essays, reports and other tasks for their English-language academic courses. This new edition has been completely revised, updated and restructured to make it even easier to use, both in the classroom with a teacher and also for self-study and reference.

The book consists of three parts, comprising a total of 28 units:

• The Writing Process and Writing Skills

• Elements of Writing

• Writing Models

The first part explains and practises every stage of writing an academic paper, from choosing the best sources, reading and note-making, through to referencing and proofreading. These stages are supported by relevant explanations of critical writing skills, so that, for instance, finding synonyms is linked to paraphrasing and summarising.

The second part explains key issues such as using numbers and punctuation, organised alphabetically. The third part provides models for common student writing tasks such as case studies and reports. All units are fully cross-referenced and can be used with a teacher or for self-study or reference. Two progress checks allow students to self-assess their learning, and a complete set of answers to the practice exercises is provided.

Additional features of the book include:

• Use of authentic texts from Business and Economics sources

• Fully updated, with sections on using AI and exploring electronic sources

• Access to free interactive website, which includes a full set of teaching notes as well as more challenging exercises, revision material and links to other sources

• Useful at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels

• Includes index and glossary

All international students of Business and Economics wanting to maximise their academic potential will find this easy-to-use book an invaluable guide to writing in English for their degree courses and beyond, in their future careers.
