Readers will gain confidence and proficiency in academic writing, benefiting from practical advice and real-world examples tailored specifically to the challenges faced by Spanish speakers.This detailed guide to academic writing will be an invaluable resource for Spanish-speaking undergraduate and postgraduate students, doctoral candidates, teachers, and researchers publishing academic work in English.
