Concise PhraseBook for Writing Academic English

Ideal for its purpose

I use It when writing to the courts. Great for me.

Really useful when preparing an argument or case for an academic assignment. Gives a different sentence starter.

I bought this for someone studying for an English degree. He is finding it immensely helpful.

Good phrasebook. It provides many phrases ready to be used while writing a scientific document. I recommend it to any graduate and postgraduate.

With "A Concise Phrasebook for Writing Academic English," Stephen Howe has provided us with a worthy companion to his excellent "Phrasebook for Writing Papers and Research in English." This leaner phrasebook offers easier reference and greater versatility without sacrificing any of the essential content. It is as brilliantly effective in undergraduate classrooms as it is in postgraduate tutorials, and I suspect that many a professor will be keeping a copy to hand as they compose their own papers. In short, Stephen Howe has produced yet another superb guide to academic writing that no serious educator or researcher should be without.

Whilst clearly tailored for academia, I would struggle to recommend it as a guide for my world.Economy of expression is essential, and I am afraid, too many of the phrases are what we call "padding".

This had good information and also nice activities

A must have. My gratitude to PhD Stephen Howe for this wonderful book which was a source of inspiration for me at the most difficult moments of my writing. I had so much pleasure to read it, thank you.

Informative

（自分の母語でない）英語で論文を書く時、自分の述べたいことを表現するのに、いつも同じフレーズを使用しがちである。その理由の一つに、英語での表現方法に関する知識の不足が挙げられる。このフレーズブックには、項目ごとに英語論文で使用する様々な表現が載っているため、日頃から目を通して自分の頭の中にこれらの表現をストックしておくと、論文を書く際にたいへん役に立つと思われる。
