In accordance with the guiding ideology of “deepening the reform of higher education through the internationalization of education” in the “Outline of National Medium and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Program(2010-2020)”， Academic English Writing is mainly designed for International Scholarly Exchange Curriculum (Undergraduates) (ISEC)， and it is also applicable to non-English majors and learners who intend to study abroad. This textbook is mainly to help ISEC undergraduates to understand the international English academic writing norms and basic requirements， to help them successfully complete the academic English writing， research reports and other writing tasks. It also creatively guides students to flexibly apply critical thinking abilities and skills into academic writing， enabling students to express their academic ideas by using standard language.
Academic English Writing mainly focuses on explaining the main steps of writing process， the related requirements and methods of academic writing. It is composed of 12 units， each of which involves the structure and skills of academic English expository and argumentative writing. This textbook mainly discusses the sections of academic writing， including topic selection， material collection and evaluation， outline writing， article cohesion and transition， language style characteristics， writing norms， reference notes， publishing process， acknowledgments and so on. In addition， the appendixes contain a format guide of the references and the notes related to the academic writing.
The editors of this textbook are all the backbone teachers active in the front-line teaching of colleges and universities. They are composed of six teachers， from Jilin Normal University， Inner Mongolia University for Nationalities， Guizhou University of Finance and Economics， Chifeng University and other universities. According to the development trend of ISEC undergraduates’ professional disciplines， the editors have carried out a special research around the existing excellent teaching materials and structures， and reflected the feasibility and applicability of critical thinking ability in editing the writing materials.
In the course of compiling the textbook， we (editors) have read and consulted many related works， textbooks and online materials， and hereby we would like to express our sincere thanks to all the relevant authors. In addition， the office of ISEC has invited experts to strictly review and control the quality of the structure and content of this textbook. Grateful acknowledgement to all in particular!
Due to the limited knowledge level of editors， there are inevitably some problems in the book. Criticism and corrections from readers are warmly welcomed.
