Writing for University fosters students' ability to express their ideas and opinions in writing at university level. Specifically, the book is intended for students who are preparing for their undergraduate studies. It is designed to facilitate the transition from an informal, personal style to writing which is academic in content and register. This is achieved by introducing students to a range of paragraph genres, with an emphasis on a practical, step-by-step approach. Writing a well-structured paragraph is a necessary step to writing a good essay.
The course offers:
Well-defined learner outcomes in each unit
A clear definition of each paragraph type
Sample and model paragraphs for students to analyse
Invaluable practice with paragraph development
Stimulating topics which engage the student as a critical thinker
Practice with language areas relevant to the genre
Brainstorming and discussion tasks which activate students' prior knowledge and experience
Attractive images which enhance understanding of the topics in the unit
Self-check questionnaires which help students to reflect on their writing
Online support with answer key, further language practice, marking guidelines and student samples specifying how to assess paragraph writing
