Academic Writing for Specific Subjects

Although academic texts in different subjects share many characteristics, some conventions vary from one field to another. Students also find it difficult at times to use examples from other subjects, because they find the unknown content confusing. This is why ELS decided to provide examples of academic writing from a range of different subjects. We have linked them the pages with general advice on the process of writing, different types of assignments or language in academic texts and would encourage you to look at these pages to get a more detailed explanation of the points these examples demonstrate.

We will continue to add more materials to these pages, so it is worth returning regularly to see whether there are new materials for your subject.
