The Easy Writer: formal writing for academic purposes fills a gap in the market for textbooks of formal English composition published in Australia. It provides simple explanations of grammar, composition and argumentation, coupled with examples of common university styles of writing and extensive exercises suitable for students to work in both directed teaching and self-paced learning. The specific goal of the text is the encouragement of competent formal writing ability, through exposure to examples of good Australian formal style and a sufficient number of exercises for daily and weekly practice. |
