The Student Phrase Book cover

The second edition of this concise phrase book is an essential tool for all students who want to communicate their ideas, arguments and evaluations clearly and precisely. Featuring over 2,000 words common to most academic disciplines, it will help students to expand their vocabulary, understand how these words are used and spot mistakes in their own academic writing. Units present the words in full sentences, enabling users to see exactly how they are used, and also include additional information on context, connotation and collocations. This is an ideal reference guide for students of all disciplines and levels who are required to complete written assignments as part of their course. It is also a valuable resource for students looking to fine tune their vocabulary for job searches, interviews and writing for professional purposes. New to this Edition: - Now contains practice exercises so readers can test their understanding as they goRefreshed, more reader-friendly text design

This is a tremendously useful book! I’ve used the First edition of The Student Phrase Book extensively as a desk companion, recommended it to university and college colleagues and given copies of it to all members of my family heading off to be students, so I am delighted to endorse this new edition of the book which is even more useful. What I really value is the way it demystifies the complex discourses of ‘academese’ so that anyone who feels out of their depth with some of the terminology can find reassurance and explanation within it. Using down-to-earth language to explain contested topics like ‘critical evaluation’ and ‘deconstruction’, Jeanne also provides really accessible examples showing good and ‘not-yet-good’ usage. If every student used this book, they would make their own lives so much easier, not to mention that of the academics and professional support staff working with them. I cannot recommend it highly enough! * Sally Brown, Leeds Beckett University, UK *
