Synopsis

This is a title for students who wish to improve their academic writing skills. The focus is not only the cultivation of writing competence, but also knowledge organisation and academic reading. The title aims to show that 'writing is knowing', and that good writing involves carefully considered themes, topics and concepts. It emphasises the importance of original work and clear thinking, taking the student from deliberating the composition of good sentences, to structuring coherent paragraphs into rich and cohesive arguments. It is also a text for writing instructors across the higher education curriculum, especially those who work mainly with students for whom English is an additional language.

About this title

Synopsis

This edition of finding your way in academic writing, the authors focused on the theme of writing as thinking. The authors focus on a new theme: "applying knowledge to writing performance". This shift introduces readers to the notion of applying knowledge sourced from literature, as well as knowledge sourced from data in field research. Therefore, this title is new in a number of ways. In this edition the organising construct is the application of knowledge, field research writing is introduced, and field research writing is integrated with literature research writing.
