Developing the research, writing and referencing skills vital to achieving success in an academic environment is a necessary part of university study.

Keys to Academic English presents Academic English, a distinct form of the language used at a tertiary level, and its building blocks - appropriate research, critical thinking and language, effective communication and essay preparation and writing - in an accessible, easy-to-use format. The first part of the text covers the overarching principles of Academic English, including the history of English, and grammar and language essentials. The second part discusses the practical application of this knowledge, with particular emphasis on crafting coherent, thesis-driven essays, alongside discussion of research and sources, referencing and citation, and style and presentation.

Written by authors with extensive tertiary teaching experience, Keys to Academic English is an invaluable reference for students beginning their university degrees across a range of humanities disciplines.
