The International Student’s Guide to Writing a Research Paper is a reference text for undergraduate students and those in ESL or bridge courses who are writing a research paper for the first time. This book is partly an update of Writing a Research Paper (by Lionel Menasche, 1998) and partly a companion to The ESL Writer’s Handbook. Each section of the book includes a discrete task called a Building Block, which requires students to apply the skills learned toward the development of their own paper. This step-by-step approach allows students to construct knowledge as they become more familiar with the process, making writing a research paper a less intimidating task.Special features:This guide uses simple direct language for those for whom writing a research paper is new.Most example writing is from international students in an ESL program or first-year writing class, including two sample papers—one in APA and one in MLA.A section on responding to instructor feedback to provide students with the tools to read and understand comments and use them to improve the first draft.A subsection dedicated to constructing clear and cohesive paragraphs and sentences.The guide includes citation and style examples in MLA 8th edition.

The ESL Writer’s Handbook is a reference work for ESL students who are taking college-level courses. Because its purpose is to provide help with the broad variety of writing questions students may have when working on school assignments, the text focuses on English for Academic Purposes. Unlike other handbooks on the market, this book’s sole purpose is to address the issues of second language learners.The spiral-bound Handbook complements a student writer’s dictionary, thesaurus, and grammar reference book. It would be suitable as a text for an advanced ESL writing course when used together with the companion Workbook (978-0-472-03726-1).The new edition features significant revisions to Sections 3 and 4; in particular, both APA and MLA style guides have been updated and new sample papers for each are included. The new edition includes new and revised exercises and many new samples of student writing.Like its predecessor, the 2nd Edition has these special features: The topic selection is based on ESL writers’ needs as observed by the authors over many years.The coverage of topics is more complete than the limited amount usually provided for ESL writers in first language or L1 handbooks.The explanatory language is appropriate for ESL students, in contrast to the more complex and idiomatic language of other English handbooks.Many of the examples of paragraphs, essays, research papers, and exercise sentences were written by ESL students to help users realize that they too can become effective writers.
