Basic Tips for ESL Students: Writing for an American Academic Audience
This printable handout, prepared by Purdue University's Online Writing Lab, is an appropriate starting place for any ESL writer and covers the essential basics. It emphasizes the important key strategies that anyone writing in academic English should rely upon (state a thesis, use a linear structure that includes good transitions, and be direct). Its tone is both clear and encouraging.
