“This edited volume also draws on a diversity of international contexts (e.g. UK, Macedonia, France, Korea) to give the reader a picture of how academic literacies develop in various writing genres (e.g. writing assignments, writing MA/PhD thesis, writing for publication). … this is a very valuable, extremely rich book that can be of help to a diverse audience: policy makers, ERPP and EAP teachers, content and academic writing supervisors, and novice researchers.” (Baraa Khuder, ESP Today, Vol. 10 (1), January, 2022)
