Excellent primer for writing instructors - and international graduate students

This commentary to the second edition of the acclaimed Academic Writing for Graduate Students: Essential Tasks and Skills answers these vital questions. A concise summary opens each unit before revealing the task answers. Mirroring the popular ESL book's structure, the reader can
quickly determine the essential teaching point of each task.
This commentary dramatically enhances the core text, giving both the novice and experienced writing instructor practical tips on complicated material. The authors acknowledge disagreements between disciplines, provide lively responses, and maintain a nuanced, fair tone. They also freely admit where they have responded to, or incorporated, criticisms of the first edition. Naturally, ambitious and curious graduate students can benefit from this thin instructor's guide as well.
In short, this excellent primer illuminates the definitive guide to academic writing for international students.
It's commentary version not a main textbook!!!
Be aware that this is a commentary version. So tricky, because even if you type the whole title "academic writing for graduate students" for search, it shows commentary version instead of the main text.
