520 _aAccessible and informative, this book is designed to enhance the capacity of graduate and undergraduate students, as well as early career scholars, to write for academic purposes. Fang describes the key genres and types of academic writing, explains common rhetorical moves, offers linguistic strategies and insights to give students the skills they need for effective academic writing across genres and disciplines. Fang's functional linguistic approach to academic writing enables readers to do so much more than write well-formed grammatical sentences; it leverages writing as a meaning-making process to position language choices as the central focus.
