Technical communicators working with L2 writers can also find Rethinking Academic Writing of value in understanding the problems L2 writers face. - in: Technical Communication 60/3 (August 2013) [Ruth Breeze] reflects a very rich knowledge about both classic approaches to and new directions in academic writing. She writes with a very interesting style and her chapters are supported with a variety of evidence, examples and implications. I strongly recommend this book as a textbook for postgraduate courses.
