English for Academics is a communication skills course for lecturers, tutors and researchers who need English in their working lives, in both formal and informal situations. Suitable for B1 level and above, the four modules - one for each skill - help develop clear, persuasive English for a range of academic situations, from making small talk at a conference to giving a presentation, from reading academic texts to writing academic correspondence, abstracts and summaries. The academic word list at the back of the book provides a helpful reference of key vocabulary.
