Struggling with academic vocabulary? Have you tried a 'concordancer' to explore word use in context?
Academic Phrasebank
Did you know the Academic Phrasebank can help organise ideas, guide readers, and create smooth transitions in academic writing? Even non-native English users can write more clearly and confidently with tools like this.
Reporting Verbs
Do you have a voice in your research, or do you simply describe and report what you read? Did you know that reporting verbs can help you show your stance and presence in your writing? Click to open a handout to learn how to express evaluation, caution, support, and critical engagement more effectively in your academic texts.
SYNTHESIS
Did you know that strong academic writing is not just about summarising sources, but also synthesising them? Synthesis helps you connect ideas, compare viewpoints, and build a clearer argument. By combining sources effectively, you can show critical thinking and create a stronger academic voice in your writing.
Signpost Phrases
Just like the Academic Phrasebank in writing, signposting phrases can make presentations clearer, smoother, and easier to follow. With the right phrases, even non-native English speakers can present ideas more confidently and professionally.
