Introduction to Academic Writing is based on the premise that students of English as a foreign language （EFL） write best when they are given the opportunity to explore topics that motivate them. In our writing classes， we observe how students draw on their experiences to handle such topics with confidence. This book introduces students to academic writing through a sequenced set of assignments that help them to move from personal， expressive writing to informative and persuasive writing. The use of source material， including summary， paraphrase， quotation， and documentation， is emphasized in the informative and persuasive writing assignments. The book stresses writing as a process and e.ncourages the use of collaborative learning strategies as well as individual activities. Therefore， this bookis mainly for students enrolled in English writing courses. It is designed for graduates from non-English majors， also suitable for English majors， both freshmen and sophomores. Students who want to study abroad in English-speaking countries will also find this book useful because good writing skills are essential for success in courses and examinations in an academic setting. ORGANIZATION OF THE BOOK Introduction to Academic Writing is divided into 10 chapters that form two major sections. The first section， Chapters 1 to 4， provides an overview of academic writing. The focus of these chapters is on the writing process， guiding the reader， and effective sentences. In these chapters， the students review writing principles learned in previous courses. The chapters contain many explanations， examples， and exercises so that students and instructors can select specific areas for emphasis. The next section， Chapters 5 to 10， is the heart of the book， introducing and developing a portfolio of writing on a chosen research topic. The assignments range from writing based on the students personal experience and opinions， to informative and persuasive papers that include information obtained from library and other sources. The chapters in this section also discuss methods of development for these papers. Frequent exercises and readings reinforce the concepts taught in these chapters. The final chapter shows students how to apply the writing techniques they have learned in the book to essay examinations.

In recent years， the number of students attending universities in China has grown rapidly. This is mainly a result of an increase in the standard of living in China， as well as recognition by students of the importance of a university education. One challenge facing all students， no matter what their language or province of origin， is the need to develop communication skills that will foster understanding among people. The ability to communicate effectively， orally and in writing， is also essential to academic and professional success. Introduction to Academic Writing will introduce you to an important form of communication， the academic writing you will need for your coursework. It will also lay the foundation for the professional writing you might later do on the job. You already know much about writing from all that you have learned in your first language and in previous English courses you have taken. What you learn now will build on your strengths and add skills to make you an accomplished academic writer. Before discussing your writing strengths and the challenges of academic writing， let us pause to describe this fascinating language which has brought us together， English. TI-IE ENGLISH LANGUAGE In the 16th century， during Shakespeares time， English had only about 3 million speakers， and most of them lived in England. French， German， Italian， and Spanish languages all had more speakers. Today， about 370 million people speak English as their first language and about 1，000 million speak it as a second or foreign language， with varying degrees of proficiency. Next to Chinese， English is the most widely spoken language in the world： Moreover， English surpasses Chinese as a global language. The majority of the worlds newspapers， magazines， and books are written in English. About 80% of computer texts and 70% of scientific papers are also written in English.
