Welcome to AWE — a guide to Academic Writing in English. AWE aims to give helpful advice, rather than to be prescriptive - it does not tell you what to do. It is not a dictionary or an encyclopedia. It is meant for students in Higher Education in the UK, including non-native speakers.
Newcomers may wish to know more about AWE or get help with using AWE.
Guides
AWE is intended to help you become a better writer. This is a matter of taste and style. AWE does not set out to be judgemental: our aim is to advise you how to write in a style appropriate to your studies.
- Good writing
- Correctness
- Referencing
- Advice leaflets (from Hull University's Study Advice Service)
Categories
Our 4,584 articles are arranged into broad categories, which may be a useful starting point. Some examples are:
- Academic English
- Word classes
- Pronunciation
- Figures of Speech
- Foreign words
- Grammar
- For a comprehensive list, see All categories
Courses
Structured courses on aspects of writing provide further depth to many of the topics covered in AWE.
