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.

Keys to Academic English presents Academic English and its building blocks in an accessible, easy-to-use format.

The Keys to Academic English is, as its title suggests, an essential resource for anyone undertaking study that requires an understanding and appreciation of academic English. It is the product of 3 years of development and successful implementation at the authors’ university. The book starts with an introduction to the history of English and the forms of language and then goes on to guide the reader on how to plan and produce a successful essay. The book consists of two texts; a student text and a tutor support ‘manual’ with subject resources, exercises, subject frame and assessment-rubric templates. The text is not subject-specific and as such it can be used across a broad range of teaching disciplines and has no single philosophical tradition or frame as other texts tend to have.
