ABSTRACT

Providing answers for a writing course is less clear-cut than for other language areas. In some exercises, there is only one possible answer, but in other cases several possibilities exist. Teachers need to use common sense, and accept any reasonable answer. In the case of exercises where students can choose their own topic and it is therefore impossible to provide an answer, students still appreciate having a model answer, and so some have been included. This chapter explains the academic writing process from start to finish, and practises all the key writing skills in the context of business studies. Although the trend towards the internationalisation of business courses has substantial benefits, and international students are not expected to write perfect English, it should be understood that accurate and effective language use is an essential skill for such students.
