Reviews

This most recent book ... is a welcome addition to the literature. ... the book's writing style is compelling and straightforward. The wise word choices and detailed explanations engage readers to follow the text. ...The book will nonetheless likely be an invaluable resource for early-career teachers and researchers whose concern and research interest are in teaching and assessing academic writing from a dynamic perspective. ... we recommend this book be included in undergraduate, graduate, and English for specific and vocational purposes programs. (Hassan Mohebbi and Martin East, Journal of Second Language Writing, June 4, 2022)
