Summary

Best-selling title in five different countries, with over 20,000 copies sold, and an average 4。6/5 rating!

"I remember sitting with my thesis committee hearing from one of the members that my writing was not academic。 This book has been a useful tool to prevent me from ever having to hear that my academic writing did not sound academic。 This book is definitely a jewel that I would recommend to anyone who has to write academically!" - Amazon user

If you know the basics of academic writing, but you still struggle to express your ideas using the right words, The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need is a lifesaver。 This book is a short, no-nonsense, reader-friendly bank of academic "sentence templates" written for both graduate and undergraduate students who need help with their essays, dissertations, and theses。 Students preparing for the TOEFL and IELTS exams students will find this book useful, too。

The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need contains 600 sentence frames organized around the typical sections of an academic paper。 Here are some examples of the kinds of sentences you will learn how to write so you can impress your tutors and improve your grades:
Establishing a research territory: The last few years have seen an increased interest in ____。
Describing research gaps: To date, no study has looked specifically at ____。
Stating your aims: The aim of this study is to discuss the extent to which ____。
Referencing: In his 1799 study, Smith argued that ____。
Sampling and data collection: Participants were randomly selected based on ____。
Data analysis and discussion: The data provide preliminary evidence that ____。
The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need also contains 80 grammar and vocabulary tips for both native and non-native speakers, which will help you avoid common mistakes when writing your essay, dissertation, or thesis。 For example:
What's the difference between "effect" and "affect"? "Imply" and "infer"? "They're", "their" and "there"?
Is "irregardless" correct?
Do you say "the criteria was" or "the criteria were"?
The Only Academic Phrasebook You'll Ever Need is NOT a comprehensive academic writing textbook。 It will not teach you key academic skills such as choosing the right research question, writing clear paragraphs, dealing with counter arguments and so on。 But it will help you find the best way to say what you want to say so you can ace that academic paper and get the grade you deserve。

Joy Rawlinson

Extremely informativeThis book is extremely helpful and informative with regards to compiling academic essays。 I would recommend any that any student who wishes to improve their essay writing skills use this book as a point of reference。

Tara Brabazon

This is a very unusual book and for some students it would be useful。 It offers guided phrases to scaffold students through active voice, hedging of arguments and transitional sentences。It feels a bit like paint by numbers, but for students requiring guidance about sentence and paragraph construction, this book maintains a solid role in their professional development。

Cas LeGault

This is incredibly helpful and very easy to follow。

Chandrika Collins

Great addition to any academic toolbox! Certainly worth the price!

Dan

Succinct, practical and resourceful for English learners if not to say even for native speakers。

Giuseppina Caraglia

Very interesting indeed。Concise and informative。 A very good phrasebook for budding scientists who are in need of a guide to writing in English。

Johnny

A good list of phrases that you can use for academic writing。 I found the examples of words that look similar but have a very different meaning especially helpful (like overlooked vs。 overseen)。

Danilo

This is a must-have book for everyone who is writing academic articles, dissertation, thesis, you name it。 I'd dare to say this book is also helpful for those who are getting ready to sit any of the Language exams available out there, TOEFL, TOEIC, CAE, CPE, ECPE, etc。 I couldn't recommend this book more。 This is a must-have book for everyone who is writing academic articles, dissertation, thesis, you name it。 I'd dare to say this book is also helpful for those who are getting ready to sit any of the Language exams available out there, TOEFL, TOEIC, CAE, CPE, ECPE, etc。 I couldn't recommend this book more。 。。。more
