Teaching Academic Writing in UK Higher Education by Lisa Ganobcsik-Williams

Academic Writing is emerging as a distinct subject for teaching and research in higher education in the UK and elsewhere. Teaching Academic Writing in UK Higher Education introduces this growing field and provides a resource for university teachers, researchers and administrators interested in developing students' writing.

'This is a fascinating, informative and important bookAll the chapters are very readable, and the subject matter is relevant to, and of interest to, every teacher in Higher Education.' - Dr. John Peck, Cardiff University, UK 'The quality of the essays overall is very high. The contributors are very well placed and well prepared to offer the research results and curricular reflections found here. The range of institutional differences within the UK contributes to the richness of the volume. As a reader located in the US with little knowledge of conditions in the UK, I gained a great deal of useful comparative information.' - Susan Jarratt, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Irvine, USA
