Covering both theoretical and practical approaches, Writing the Research Paper guides students studying in English as a second or additional language through the skills necessary for success in university-level writing and research. The book begins with theoretical considerations, such as research, argumentation and critical thinking. It then offers a broad range of practical assistance covering all aspects of the writing process, including topic selection, argument, counter-argument, paragraph structure and cohesion.

The book is accompanied by a companion website, writingtheresearchpaper.com. The website hosts many features, including chapter summaries, exercises, quizzes, PowerPoints, additional learning material, and technology assistance. The website also hosts numerous authentic examples of student papers at each of the critical stages of the writing process.

Reviews for Writing the Research Paper: Multicultural Perspectives for Writing in English as a Second Language

A much-needed book on argumentation in research paper writing. The idea of developing arguments in writing to create new knowledge and perspectives is significant and should be promoted. Readers must be able to write like a scholar with the insights of the writers and comprehensive information given in this book. * Mable Chan, Senior Lecturer, Language Centre, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong *
