Developing Strong Arguments in Academic Writing

Developing Strong Arguments in Academic Writing

(0)
This full lesson plan is from Unit 3 of the English Evolution Academic Writing course. It is a 90 minute lesson that provides a thorough direction and supporting material for students who intend to write university standard academic essays. Many students find it very difficult to produce good academic writing because they struggle with the concept and format of writing strong argumentative texts. This is particularly difficult for foreign language students, which is why many must attend EAP (English for Academic Purposes) courses before they are assured their place in English universities. This powerpoint lesson includes a range of activities and accompanying worksheets that will ensure both ESL and English language students have a clear understanding of how to produce good argumentative academic writing.
