English for Academic Research: Writing Exercises

Related papers

This paper was written to fulfill the requirements of Module 3 for the Cambridge Delta. The topic of the paper is EAP (English for Academic Purposes) and involves teaching academic writing. This assignment touches on what academic writing involves, includes a brief needs analysis conducted on learners, and a suggested academic course of study for a group of students whose needs include learning to write academic papers for the undergraduate/postgraduate levels of study. This was especially important for me as it evidences my first attempt at creating a course for a group of learners. Please see the the other paper entitled "Appendices for Module 3 Assignment" for further details on the actual layout of the course, and the materials suggested for use.

This article argues that the Battle of the Frigidus was, from a military perspective, a far more important engagement than is usually assumed. The battle depleted the available military reserves of the empire to such an extent that, in the following years, the nascent Western empire found itself unable to conduct any large-scale military operations, or indeed to fend off attackers in its very core-Italy. On the other hand, the religious importance of the battle, traditionally highlighted in scholarly publications, should be downplayed. It can be argued that had the outcome of the battle been any different, no major religious changes to the empire would have occurred. While the political short-term outcome of the battle is obvious (Theodosius' reassertion of claim to power and the establishment of his dynasty), the long-term political changes resulting from this battle primarily involved the beginning of the decline of the Western empire and its ultimate demise. The article analyses the known data on Roman military strength, its organization, and especially the available operational reserves in the 4th century and compares them with the state of the Roman army at the beginning of the 5th century. Although our sources deny us any data on the strength or losses of either army at the Frigidus, a thorough analysis of all available information and a comparison with other internal wars in the late Roman empire seems to lead to an inescapable conclusion: the battle was a massacre that deprived the empire in its western part of its last hope of holding its entire territory in the following period.

Revista de Direito do Consumidor, 2023

O surgimento da tecnologia blockchain já tem alterado significativamente a forma como os institutos jurídicos tradicionais são analisados para comportar os hodiernos desafios tecnológicos. Essa tecnologia levanta questionamentos sobre as mudanças de natureza consumerista que concernem ao mercado de criptoativos e à criptoeconomia, à reformulação do sistema de checagem de patentes e à implementação de sistemas de validação documental, bem como à implementação de “contratos inteligentes” (smart contracts), que são delineados, assinados e registrados em uma plataforma capaz de executá-los automaticamente. Embora haja entusiasmo inicial, é necessário considerar os impactos jurídicos e os perigos que essa novidade pode apresentar. Inovação e regulação continuam descompassadas, e a tecnologia blockchain é um dos exemplos mais empolgantes de como as novas tecnologias podem abalar os institutos tradicionais do direito, pois “contratos inteligentes” não inauguram uma nova modalidade contratual, mas sua execução automatizada traz preocupações. A partir disso, o artigo explora os seguintes aspectos: a inviabilidade de que contratos relacionais sejam instrumentalizados via blockchain, os custos da inflexibilidade, que podem anular as vantagens econômicas oferecidas pelos “contratos inteligentes”; a diferença entre “contratos inteligentes” e contratos algorítmicos, e também o perigo da tecnocracia, ou seja, a dependência dos especialistas que possuem o conhecimento necessário para utilizar os sistemas de programação que viabilizam sua instrumentalização. A pesquisa será desenvolvida pelo método dedutivo, com uma conclusão analítica sendo apresentada ao final.

About this book

This book is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English (long sentences, redundancy, poor structure etc.).

The exercises in this new edition are organized into twelve chapters on:

•  punctuation and spelling
• writing short sentences and paragraphs
• link words - connecting phrases and sentences together
• being concise and removing redundancy
• ambiguity and political correctness
• paraphrasing and avoiding plagiarism
• defining, comparing, evaluating and highlighting
• anticipating possible objections, indicating level of certainty, discussing limitations, hedging, future work
• using Large Language Models for writing papers, emails and presentation scripts

Some exercises require no actual writing but simply choosing between various options. In those exercises where extended writing is required, model answers are given.

The exercises can also be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes. 

The book can be used in conjunction with the other exercise books in the series and is cross-referenced to:
