Ebook: Teaching English for Academic Purposes

Why do students feel that mastering academic English is difficult? Is it really so different from other types of English?

This easy-to-follow guide shows how learning academic language can be achieved by developing a set of skills that can be honed with practice, effective instruction, and motivation.
