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.

AWE is a new development. 
It has moved beyond the purely experimental stage, and has proved useful; but it is not complete.
It is currently in a developmental stage. 
We welcome any comments, but cannot reply individually.

                     TO COMMENT ON ANY ARTICLE IN AWE:
click on the talk tab at the top of the page -

Newcomers may wish to know more about AWE or get help with using AWE.
