Review Quotes:
"A highly relevant toolkit for international students. The section on 'Using source material' is particularly valuable as it tackles a culture shock barrier, which is often difficult to overcome. This is an excellent resource that students can use throughout their academic studies and one that I will be recommending to my own students." --Graham Hornby, English Language and EAP Tutor, Teesside University, UK
"Passing an exam to meet the English language requirements for a degree course is an achievement to be proud of. Yet it only shows that the student is capable of starting their studies, not what is expected of them once they begin their studies. This short guide helps to bridge that gap." --Nick White, Teaching Fellow in English for Speakers of Other Languages, University of Portsmouth, UK
