ABSTRACT
It can be really tough to get started writing, especially if students are writing English as a foreign language. It could be that the academic phrasebank is just what they are looking for. It strikes that this is going to be a fantastic resource for those of students who are not writing in English as their home language. And for those of students who just need a few words to get started. It will also be useful when they are wanting to wordsmith their introduction or abstract. Most of these phrases are less than five words or students will find that they are non-consecutive parts of a sentence. Most of these would constitute plagiarism if students pasted them into their document. However, it would be suggested that students spend some time refining what they have written and that when they do that, some of these phrases may then come out.
