UITM Alor Gajah - ELC231 Academic English: Success In Writing

This book serves as a guide for intermediate English language learners at local institutions of higher learning. Spanning six chapters, it has a special emphasis on writing skills, as well as a secondary focus on reading and speaking skills. It is designed to not only help university students excel in their academic programmes, but also become independent and confident users of the language. 

With the book’s graded approach, students are able to improve their skills in a step-by-step manner as they navigate each chapter. The notes on each skill are comprehensive yet accessible, complemented by useful tables, figures, margin notes and examples. This enables students to explore the language in an engaging way. A variety of activities are also included at the end of every chapter which are suitable for individual or group work. These activities help students to reinforce what they have learnt and promote collaborative learning. Links to useful websites are also provided so that students can access supplementary materials that enhance their understanding.
