The Academic Writing Phrasebook: cover
01
What is inside

Built for the work, not the feed.

Undergraduate and graduate students, writers whose first language is not English, and anyone drafting a first paper or thesis chapter.

01

Organised by purpose, not by word

"Showing disagreement between sources", "reporting no effect", "acknowledging limitations". Find what you are trying to do; the frame supplies the shape.

02

Notes on register

110 frames carry a one-line note: which tense, which discipline, when first person is accepted, when a frame is honest and when it is throat-clearing.

03

The overused frames, flagged

Correct English that students and AI tools now lean on ("Notably,", "Taken together", "Future research could examine"). Each flag says what to prefer.

04

Eight thesis templates

Argumentative, analytical, expository, compare-and-contrast, cause-and-effect, research paper, literature review, dissertation chapter. Each with a specific, well-written example.

05

The PEEL paragraph, worked

Point, evidence, explain, link, with a full 119-word example paragraph that does all four.

06

The AI tells and the submission checklist

28 phrases examiners now recognise, with plain alternatives, and a five-part checklist covering clarity, argument, passive voice, citations and AI, and mechanics.

02
Look inside

How to use it

Three steps, then it is yours.

  1. 1Find the section of the paper you are writing and the thing you are trying to do.
  2. 2Fill the slots with specifics. A frame with a vague noun in it is worse than no frame.
  3. 3Run the submission checklist before you hand it in.

Questions

Before you download

01Is using sentence frames plagiarism?

No. Frames are the common shapes of academic sentences, not someone's content. The claim, the evidence and the names are yours. The checklist includes the citation and AI-disclosure checks your institution expects.

02Which disciplines does it cover?

The frames are neutral academic English. Where a discipline prefers a tense or a person, the note says so. When in doubt, follow your course handbook or the journal.

03Does it help with the writing itself or only the phrasing?

Both. The thesis templates and the PEEL paragraph are about argument; the frames are about expression; the checklist is about not losing marks for things you could have caught.
