Guide to Academic Writing

The kind of writing you’re required to learn and be able to write at university is academic writing. This is also the writing type demanded in international tests such as TOEFL or IELTS. Many universities in English-speaking countries have websites specialising in helping students with academic writing, with useful sections on paragraph and essay structures, English grammar, punctuations,… The websites below may be useful for your Writing subjects, or writing scientific research papers.
