Academic writing requires a formal tone, clear structure, and specific vocabulary. If you are used to writing in another language, it can be hard to know what is expected in English.

On this page, you will find helpful resources that can help you develop your writing skills in English.

An online course about academic writing developed by Lund University. The course consists of several short films, so you can choose to watch them all or focus on specific aspects of the writing process. Especially useful for students with English as a second language.

This textbook is designed to accompany the videos above, but can also be used as a stand-alone handbook. Includes for instance practical advice on issues that second-language writers often encounter when working on their texts.

Developed by Satu Manninen, Ellen Turner and Cecilia Wadsö-Lecaros at the English Unit, Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University.
