A course for professionals who need English for work, travel, and socializing.

This book contains one hundred typical mistakes relating to papers, proposals, oral presentations, and correspondence with editors (e.g. journal submissions), reviewers (rebuttal letters), and editing agencies. The book is primarily intended for non-native English speaking researchers. However, it is also useful for editing agencies in order to help new or inexperienced editors spot the kinds of mistakes they need to correct in order to ensure their clients successfully have their papers published. Each section of a paper is covered titles and abstracts; introduction and literature review; methods, results and tables; discussion and conclusions. Teachers of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) will learn which areas of writing and grammar to focus on including readability, word order, sentence length, paragraphing, ambiguity and punctuation. The last section in the book highlights the key areas where presenters make the most mistakes in terms of the use of English.

This book analyzes referees' reports and editor letters to identify why non-native researchers' papers are often rejected due to English language issues, such as long sentences, redundancy, and poor structure. Drawing from errors in approximately 5,000 papers, 3,000 emails, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1,000 hours of teaching, it offers a comprehensive approach to improving academic writing. The content is divided into ten chapters covering topics like punctuation, word order, concise writing, linking phrases, ambiguity, and effective section writing. Some exercises focus on selecting options rather than writing, promoting self-study and quick progress, while others provide model answers for extended writing tasks. Similar exercise types are repeated across various contexts, reinforcing key concepts like conciseness in papers, reports, and emails. This repetition aids in revision and can be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes. Additionally, the book complements other titles in the series and is cross-referenced with resources on usage, style, grammar, and writing research papers.
