It helps students learn the words and phrases used in academic writing, and how to use them in their own academic written work. Extensive analysis of existing research, together with the creation of the 85-million-word Oxford Corpus of Academic English, formed the foundation for this ground-breaking dictionary. Students will be equipped with the tools they need to develop their academic writing skills, with an emphasis on how to link words together, how to build phrases and sentences, and how to present a convincing argument.
