Academic English
flexing your writing muscles
Sweating over your writing? You are not alone. Writing for academia is not easy. Academic English is no-one’s first language. Even native speakers of English have to learn to write for an academic audience. Why learn? Because writing like an academic shows your reader that you belong to the community learning, researching and thinking about your topic or your field But don’t sweat it! Working on your academic style just takes a little practice and a little thinking and in no time you will be walking the academic walk.
Writing for academia is hard. It doesn’t matter whether you are a native speaker or not, we all sweat over over essays, articles, chapters, But don’t worry! Prof Partout is here to help you through the tough mental workout that is writing.
For native speakers of English
Even brainiacs benefit from a little zhooshing of their texts. You may need help with structuring your writing. You might want to beef up your argumentation. On the other hand, you might not be so sure about when and how to cite works in your text.
For non-native speakers
