Academic Writing Level 4: University

Academic Writing for University Students Level 4 is designed to support all students to succeed in writing essays, reports and other papers for coursework and exams effectively. Academic writing is often the biggest challenge facing college and university students, but this course provides all the tools needed to master the necessary skills. 

The course is divided into five parts and extends the knowledge, skills and critical thinking students developed at Levels 2 & 3. They are taught in conjunction with the first part or used on a remedial basis. A progress check at the end of each unit allows students to assess their learning:

• The Writing Process: From finding suitable sources, through to editing and proofreading
• Writing Types: Practice with common assignments such as reports and cause-effect essays
• Writing Tools: Skills such as making comparisons, definitions, punctuation and style
• Lexis: Academic vocabulary, using synonyms, nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverb

This course is designed to engage students to break down and practise every stage of essay writing. All units are fully cross-referenced. 

Designed for self-study as well as classroom use, course material uses authentic academic texts from a range of sources and provides models for common writing tasks such as case studies, while progress checks are included for each part to enable students to assess their learning. 

Academic Writing for University Students is an invaluable component to all aspects of academic writing in English.
