English for Academic Purposes, Intermediate Level, an integrated textbook. Third Edition

English For Academic Purposes is an integrated text organized around specific rhetorical functions: general ideas – specific information- classification- chronological order- cause and effect- comparison and contrast- prediction processes and procedures
The book is aimed at Arab students at an intermediate level of competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and strives for cultural appropriateness.

Unit Organization
The book attempts to emphasize and integrate the basic skills of speaking, reading, and writing in the context of academic and everyday usage, with particular emphasis on the former. Grammar instruction, arising from the reading passages, is restricted so as to aid consolidation of the above basic skills. This should explain, for example, the earlier-than-expected appearance of the past perfect tense (in Units 3, ahead of the present perfect tense) due to the natural occurrence of the tense in the reading, where it typically contrasts with the simple past tense.
The reading passages have been carefully selected to reflect both an appropriate level of language and the Arab environment. They are arranged in eight units which consist of vocabulary and gap-fill exercises, skimming and scanning exercises, and further activities to develop effective reading strategies. Specific grammar points from the reading passages lead on to writing and speaking exercises.
