'Review of Academic Writing: A Handbook for International Students (5th ed.)’

This is the latest edition of a stalwart textbook for teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP). It is a stand-alone volume, unlike many EAP books that have become a series differentiated by stages of student ability (for example, the Oxford EAP series or Longman Academic Writing). The advantage is that Bailey's textbook accompanies the student through their courses, from beginner to advanced, rather than requiring several separate books. The book is systematic and thorough, with varied examples of material, and it is broken into logical sections and subsections like a science or engineering textbook. The emphasis is on students practicing and completing writing throughout, rather than a more theoretical approach.

This is the third edition of a book that has enjoyed enormous popularity since it first appeared in 1994 with the sub-subtitle 'a Course for Nonnative Speakers of English.' Recognizing the challenge that the academic research paper (RP) poses for all graduate students regardless of language background (i.e., students from "Inner Circle, Outer Circle, Expanding Circle," contexts: Kachru. 2006) or academic discipline, the authors dropped that subtitle in the second edition (2004) in favor of the current one, more accurately reflecting this wider intended audience.
