What the Academic English notes cover

These notes approach writing through examples, outlines and lists of useful language. Etc Linking Word gives examples of words used to connect ideas. A note on citing sources explains how to identify information used in an essay. Another outlines stages of an argument, while English Writing Critically discusses writing about themes in literature.

Study with the notes

Start with the note on citing sources if you are working with outside information. Read its explanation, then check how you identify sources in your own essay. For help connecting ideas, look at the examples in Etc Linking Word and consider where each expression fits.

Notes are useful when you want to read an explanation at your own pace. If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the Academic English unit page. For a check on what you remember, try a quiz there. Pick a note that matches your current writing task.
