Study Skills for Speakers of English as a Second Language by Marilyn Lewis

Starting at any university is a major step in life. Students who speak English as a second language, studying in a new country, are taking an even bigger step. Based on interviews with international students and their teachers, this book offers straightforward advice on academic topics such as language use, as well as social topics and the culture of Western universities. It also contains a helpful mini-dictionary of university words, and so will be an ideal guide for any international student studying in an English-speaking university.

'The book provides a comprehensive introduction to studying in an English-speaking university environment. I have not come across any other material that attempts to combine the two areas of factual information and study skills information in this way and for this reason it [is] a useful publication for new and incoming students.' - Katie Dunworth, Head of School of Languages and Intercultural Education, Curtin University of Technology, Australia 'This book provides an excellent guide to university life for new speakers of English. It is clearly written and laid-out and the information is well-organised. This is a very useful book and I would definitely recommend it to both new speakers of English and their teachers.' - Dr Cathy Wright, TESOLANZ Newsletter (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages Aotearoa New Zealand) 'Nicely organized and written in straightforward language, this friendly, readable book will definitely be handy for those embarking on their overseas education.' - Suriyan Panlay, Thai TESOL Focus
