Writing in English: A Guide for Advanced Learners

Book excerpt: This book offers practical advice and guidance to German-speaking undergraduates and academics who aspire to write in English. It also provides valuable assistance to editors, examiners and teachers who conduct English courses for intermediate or advanced students. It consists of four modules and is rounded off with a subject index and a glossary. Making extensive use of authentic texts, the authors adopt a contrastive approach and focus on the major problems encountered by Germans writing in English. This third edition has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded to include, among other things, advice on how to use new Internet technology.
