David Cotton Writing
Skills - a Systematic Approach
David
Cotton’s presentation is on Writing Skills for academic purposes. He discusses why students have difficulty writing academic texts, such as essays,
reports and articles. He then talks about the approach to writing which he
and his co-writers have used in the Language Leader course books. He looks
at the various writing genres which students need to master to be successful in
their studies at colleges and universities and uses examples from the
intermediate – advanced levels of Language Leader to illustrate his points. One
or two examples of students’ work are also presented. David does not deal
with scholarly articles written for academic journals though this topic is
covered, to some extent, in the Language Leader series.

factors influence the ways Russian students learn to write and speak in an
academic variety of English.

communication skills which they need to perform effectively in an international
business environment. He selects examples from Market Leader Intermediate –

skills and that the activities in the book reflect the technological changes
that are taking place in modern business communication.
