This book serves as a vital bridge for advanced non-native English users, empowering them to excel in academic writing. It prioritizes depth over breadth by mastering essential writing competencies and strategies that apply across most academic disciplines and genres. Specifically tailored for students in EMI programs, the content underwent rigorous piloting and revision during a longitudinal writing study. The innovative approach equips students with the skills to write for the academic community, utilizing the dual lenses of Art (developing a writer's voice through language choices, style, and topics) and Architecture (mastering norms of academic language, genre, and organization). The user-friendly text maximizes valuable time for writing practice and production by avoiding lengthy readings. Part 1 focuses on building skills and confidence through assignments that do not require extensive research. Part 2 then applies the newly acquired principles, skills, and strategies to research-based writing, guiding students in integrating thesis, research, and evidence into the academic writing process. The AWARE framework (Arranging to write, Writing, Assessing, Revising, and Editing) serves as a guiding framework throughout this comprehensive journey. By embracing this book, learners can unlock their full potential in academic writing and achieve success in their academic pursuits.
