Academic Writing for Graduate Students: Essential Tasks and Skills by John M. Swales and Christine B. Feak is a widely used guide to graduate level academic writing, especially for students working in English as an additional language. Published by the University of Michigan Press, the book belongs to the field of English for Academic Purposes and is designed for classroom use, guided study, or disciplined self study. Its central purpose is not simply to teach grammar or polish sentences, but to help emerging scholars understand how academic texts work within disciplinary communities. The book explains how audience, purpose, genre, evidence, and rhetorical structure shape effective academic communication. Through tasks, analysis, and language focused sections, it asks students to examine real academic writing problems such as summarizing sources, critiquing research, presenting claims, and positioning themselves in relation to other scholars. Its value lies in connecting language choices to intellectual and rhetorical goals.
