MASTERING ABSTRACT WRITING IN ACADEMIC ENGLISH

Mastering Abstract Writing in Academic English is a reference book designed to help students, particularly those in English language education, develop the ability to write effective undergraduate thesis abstracts in English. The book emphasizes that an abstract is not merely a shortened version of a thesis, but an important form of academic communication that presents the essential purpose, methodology, findings, and contribution of a study in a clear, coherent, and concise manner. It introduces the relationship between rhetorical organization and linguistic realization in academic writing.

The book explores essential dimensions of abstract writing, including rhetorical organization, academic language, verb tense, coherence, cohesion, theme development, and clause construction. It also addresses common challenges experienced by EFL students, such as limited academic vocabulary, inconsistent tense use, weak connections between ideas, inappropriate sentence complexity, and difficulties in presenting research information concisely. To address these challenges, the book presents the Multidimensional Thesis Abstract Writing Model as a flexible framework for planning, writing, revising, and evaluating academic abstracts.

Beyond individual writing skills, Mastering Abstract Writing in Academic English provides practical guidance for teaching and supervising abstract writing. Readers are encouraged to examine model abstracts critically, identify common patterns and problems, apply the multidimensional model, and develop their own abstracts through systematic practice and evaluation. The book is therefore valuable not only for students and thesis writers but also for lecturers and supervisors seeking a more systematic approach to developing academic writing competence and effective scholarly communication.
