Basics of English Academic Writing: The Gateway to International Publications is a coursebook or textbook for the English Academic Writing course at the undergraduate level, which has gained high demand and become the gateway to international publications. This book comprises seven chapters that guide undergraduate students to master the basics of English academic writing, including phrases, clauses, sentences, citations and references, paragraphs, unity and coherence, and essays and journal articles. Each chapter provides objectives, detailed and practical materials, examples from internationally reputable journal articles, exercises, and assignments. Examples from internationally reputable journal articles play roles in embodying detailed materials into practices; exercises and assignments are beneficial to provide students with opportunities to practice. This book begins its explanation with a very basic unit in English academic writing, namely phrases. Students are then gradually introduced to clauses and sentences since many students face challenges in writing effective sentences and identifying clauses and their types, respectively. Students also learn about citations and references, which are vital in academic writing. They subsequently learn how to write effective paragraphs that maintain unity and coherence at the macro-level, meso-level, and micro-level. Ultimately, students are introduced to how to write essays and journal articles.

Gateways to Understanding Music explores music in all the categories that constitute contemporary musical experience: European classical music, popular music, jazz, and world music. Covering the oldest forms of human music making to the newest, the chronological narrative considers music from a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective. Each of sixty modular "gateways" covers a particular genre, style, or period of music. Every gateway opens with a guided listening example that unlocks a world of music through careful study of its structural elements. Based on their listening experience, students are asked to consider how the piece came to be composed or performed, how the piece or performance responded to the social and cultural issues at the time and place of its creation, and what that music means today. Students learn to listen to, explain, understand, and ultimately value all the music they may encounter in their world. FEATURES Global scope—Presents all music as worthy of study, including classical, world, popular, and jazz. Historical narrative—Begins with small-scale forager societies up to the present, with a shifting focus from global to European to American influences. Modular framework—60 gateways in 14 chapters allow flexibility to organize chronologically or by the seven recurring themes: aesthetics, emotion, social life, links to culture, politics, economics, and technology. Listening-guided learning—Leads to understanding the emotion, meaning, significance, and history of music. Introduction of musical concepts—Defined as needed and compiled into a Glossary for reference. Consistent structure—With the same step-by-step format, students learn through repeated practice how to listen and how to think about music. In addition to streamed audio examples, the companion website hosts essential instructors’ resources.
