Writing Academic English is a comprehensive rhetoric and sentence structure textbook/ workbook. It has been written for intermediate to advanced college or college-bound international and English as a Second Language students. It can also be used by native speakers of English who need to develop their basic composition skills or to brush up on sentence structure and mechanics.

Because most academic writing is expository in nature, we have purposely limited the rhetorical components to exposition. The models and practices feature current and general academic topics relevant to students' interest in a rapidly changing world. Many also practice using English in technical, scientific, and business contexts.
