It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, several hundred emails, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers. The exercises include the following areas: active vs passive, use of we articles (a/an, the, zero) and quantifiers (some, any, few etc) conditionals and modals countable and uncountable nouns genitive infinitive vs -ing form numbers, acronyms, abbreviations relative clauses and which vs that tenses (e.g. simple present, simple past, present perfect) word order Exercise types are repeated for different contexts. For example, the difference between the simple present, present perfect and simple past is tested for use in papers, referees' reports, and emails of various types. Such repetition of similar types of exercises is perfect for revision purposes. English for Academic Research: Grammar Exercises is designed for self-study and there is a key to all exercises. Most exercises require no actual writing but simply choosing between various options, thus facilitating e-reading and rapid progress. The exercises can also be integrated into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses at universities and research institutes. The book can be used in conjunction with the other exercise books in the series and is cross-referenced to: English for Research: Usage, Style, and Grammar English for Writing Research Papers English for Academic Correspondence and Socializing Adrian Wallwork is the author of around 30 ELT and EAP textbooks. He has trained several thousand PhD students from 35 countries to write and present academic work. 410 0$aEnglish for Academic Research,$x2625-3453 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aTheoretical Linguistics / Grammar 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aTheoretical Linguistics / Grammar. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 676 $a401/.41 676 $a808/.042 700 $aWallwork$b Adrian$0730806 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438327803321 996 $aEnglish for Academic Research$94166397 997 $aUNINA
