《英语专业写作》的**是英语学术写作的介绍和训练, 通过循序渐进的讲解和写作练习,使学生了解、熟悉、掌握英语学术写作的特点,为撰写毕业论文和以后进行学术写作奠定坚实的基础。

In recent years, writing has become more and more important in college education. Professor Li Funing from Peking University once made the remark, "Every course is a writing course"(1991). As an English major, in your first three years at college you have probably written many personal essays in English that presented your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. As you start your fourth year, you are facing a variety of writing tasks which become progressively more complex and demanding. Different from those types of writing you have learned, you are now going to learn how to write “academically”. Before we begin, it will be helpful to discuss what are the major types and features of academic writing.
《英语专业写作》第四册共分为四个部分:(1)���语学术写作简介;(2)学术论文的写作;(3)研究报告的写作;(4)英语专业毕业论文的写作。每部分由五个单元组成。本书的基本框架是**部分介绍英语学术写作与学术研究的关系,学术写作的基本特征和要求。第二部分介绍以图书资料为基础的学术论文的写作要素,以及写好既言之有物,又符合学术规范的研究性学期论文的方法和步骤。第三部分介绍以实证研究为基础的研究报告的写作,为今后从事英语教学,培养定性和定量研究打下良好基础。第四部分介绍英语专业学士学位论文的写作,从英语语言学、英语文学、翻译和教学法等方面, 给以翔实的例证和分析,以期对英语专业学生做好毕业论文提供参考。贯穿全书的教学活动涉及:学术写作的选题,相关文献的检索和综述,论文探究问题的提炼和表述,论文提纲的编制和修改,论文各个部分的写作,如:引言、主体、结语、提要、参考文献及附录等。英语学术写作是在学生接受了英语写作基本功的训练后,学习了初步学术研究方法的基础上,达到用英语撰写论文的更高要求,也是培养大学生创新能力的重要环节。本书用简洁的语言对英语学术写作的各个环节和要求作了详细介绍,并尽量多地提供典型例文给学生作参考,同时设计了丰富多样的练习。我们强调教学内容介绍、典型例丈示范和参与写作体验并重的教学方法,学生在阅读和课堂教学中学习知识,从典型例文中获得启发,在写作体验中逐步提高。正如英语谚语所说,“Knowing without doing is not knowing at all.”
