Most international students need to write essays and reports for exams and coursework. Yet writing good academic English is a demanding task. This new edition of Academic Writing has been fully revised to help students reach this goal. Clearly organised, the course explains the writing process from start to finish. Each stage is demonstrated and practised, from selecting suitable sources, reading, note-making and planning through to re-writing and proofreading.
The book is divided into short sections which contain examples, explanations and exercises for use in the classroom or self-study. Cross-references allow easy access to relevant sections, and a full answer key is included.
The 3rd edition has been developed in response to suggestions from both students and teachers. Featuring a new website, there is increased coverage of plagiarism, argument, cause and effect, comparison, definitions and academic style. Different forms of writing, including reports and literature reviews, are also covered.
All international students wanting to maximise their academic potential will find this easy-to-use, practical book a valuable guide to writing in English for their degree courses.

まず、海外の大学ではエッセーを書く量が半端ないと聞いています。
現在通っている学校の先生(アメリカ人、日本の大学にて英語でのライティングを長年教えてらっしゃる方です)にも、
メールやビジネスの英語とは違うライティングだと伺っています。
なので、日本語で書かれた書籍を持ってはいますが、そこでカバーできない分を補うためにと思い購入しました。
全編通して英語なので初めは使えるか不安でしたが、
・英文が分かりやすく、理解しやすいです。(というかこのくらいの英文が分からないと留学は早急かな?と思います)
・留学生、留学生を教える教員向けに書かれているので説明が丁寧です。
・サイトでのサポート(問題の答えとか、質問受け付けサービスとか)もあるので安心です。
これは改訂版らしく、以前は薄紫色の書籍のようです。
そちらのほうは見たことがないので何とも言えませんが、基本は同じだと思うのでほかの方のレビューも参考にしてみたらいいかと思います。
最後に、留学希望の方が日本語が一切入っていない参考書も1つくらいは持っておいたほうがいいと思います。
また大学や大学院ではエッセーがおおいと聞くのでこの本は良書だと思います。
