A very detailed book that students will need to work through, rather than 'dip' in and out of. That said, I think that it can be very useful to all students, not just those for whom English is a second language - and it is on that basis that I will be recommending it.
This book has lots of essential information for those students who speak English as a second language which may be useful for many students finding reading and writing level difficulties.
A very useful addition to other books on academic writing
Some useful exercises but as the book is like a course in itself it isn't possible to use it in seminars, which are more content focussed. But useful for students to work through on their own, although unlikely that many will.
This book is really aimed at developing students' skills in the area of EAP. Especially I used this particular book and recommended for Pre-sessional students, who found this extremely interesting.
This is a much-needed text, which I will be strongly recommending for my many ESL students, and which will inform the design of the study skills currciulum. I still think Cottrell's Study Skills Handbook is the market leader in SS support, and look forward to something equally attractive being available for ESL students. I also wonder if an accompanying website might provide multimedia resources in this area - which are often so much more effective than a text alone?
