Each unit covers academic writing, reading, and speaking skills. The units progressively take students through the steps needed to complete three common academic assignments: the essay, report, and tutorial discussion. These steps include searching for quality sources, note-taking, establishing a critical stance, formulating evidence-based arguments, synthesizing information from multiple sources, and structuring academic texts. Each unit also provides opportunities for students to analyze texts, apply their critical thinking skills, practice what they have learned in productive tasks, and reflect upon their progress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is aimed at first-time university students. Many of the readings are related to China and a broader Asian context. As such, it appeals to first-year university students in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiranda Legg\u003c\/b\u003e was formerly a principal lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong.\u003cb\u003e Parco Wong\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. \u003cb\u003eAlice Yau\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. \u003cb\u003eNatalie Fong\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. \u003cb\u003eKevin Pat\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. \u003cb\u003eSteve Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e was formerly an instructional designer in the Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (later renamed the Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre) at the University of Hong Kong.\u003cb\u003e Rebecca Welland \u003c\/b\u003ewas formerly a lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. \u003cb\u003eLetty Chan\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong. \u003cb\u003eLouisa Chan\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong.
