Academic Writing in English

Academic Writing in English

Overview

Students need to be fluent in English to compete in today’s world. While basic reading, grammar and vocabulary skills are needed at first, active communication skills like speaking and writing are key to success in academia and in the industry. This is supported by research, which has suggested that writing is one of the most difficult language skills to learn (Barkaoui, 2007), and writing skills should be taught to students early on in university education (Craig, 2012). The importance of academic writing becomes clear as research has shown a correlation between poorly written articles and article rejection rates (Coates, Sturgeon, Bohannan, & Pasini, 2002; Salager-Meyer, 2008). This, along with the fact that in terms of oral communication, research has shown that experience and exposure to oral practice relieves anxiety associated with communicating in English (Liu, 2006).
