English for Academic Research: Writing Exercises

Dustin Hosseini
This paper was written to fulfill the requirements of Module 3 for the Cambridge Delta. The topic of the paper is EAP (English for Academic Purposes) and involves teaching academic writing. This assignment touches on what academic writing involves, includes a brief needs analysis conducted on learners, and a suggested academic course of study for a group of students whose needs include learning to write academic papers for the undergraduate/postgraduate levels of study. This was especially important for me as it evidences my first attempt at creating a course for a group of learners. Please see the the other paper entitled "Appendices for Module 3 Assignment" for further details on the actual layout of the course, and the materials suggested for use.

Adrian Wallwork
Genitive: the possessive form of nouns
Indefinite article ( a / an ), definite article ( the ), and zero article (ø), quantifiers: some, any, little, few, a lot of, lots, much, many, relative pronouns: that, which, who, whose, what, present tenses, past tenses, future tenses, conditional forms: zero, first, second, third, mixed, passive versus active: impersonal versus personal forms, infinitive, - ing form (gerund), suggest, recommend, modal verbs, phrasal verbs, comparative and superlative forms, acronyms and abbreviations.
This book is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English grammar. It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, several hundred emails, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.
The exercises include the following areas:
- active vs passive, use of we
- articles ( a/an, the , zero) and quantifiers ( some, any, few etc)
- conditionals and modals
- countable and uncountable nouns
- infinitive vs -ing form
- numbers, acronyms, abbreviations
- relative clauses and which vs that
- tenses (e.g. simple present, simple past, present perfect)
Exercise types are repeated for different contexts. For example, the difference between the simple present, present perfect and simple past is tested for use in papers, referees' reports, and emails of various types. Such repetition of similar types of exercises is perfect for revision purposes.
English for Academic Research: Grammar Exercises is designed for self-study and there is a key to all exercises. Most exercises require no actual writing but simply choosing between various options, thus facilitating e-reading and rapid progress.
The exercises can also be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes.
The book can be used in conjunction with the other exercise books in the series and is cross-referenced to:

Adrian Wallwork is the author of around 30 ELT and EAP textbooks. He has trained several thousand PhD students from 35 countries to write and present academic work.
