Full Description
English Academic Writing for Spanish Speakers: A Practical Guide offers step-by-step guidance on writing and publishing academic work in English, providing essential tools and strategies to master academic writing. The book is divided into two parts. The first one, "Theory," examines key issues about academic writing: what it is and the different types of academic genres, such as research papers, essays, cover letters, and CVs/résumés. The second part, "From Theory to Practice," provides clear, simple explanations of these same genres, which are followed by authentic examples of academic texts from Spanish scholars in the areas of social sciences and humanities, and a checklist of common errors. Readers will gain confidence and proficiency in academic writing, benefiting from practical advice and real-world examples tailored specifically to the challenges faced by Spanish speakers.
