@@kem80kem42 Nice. I hope you're enjoying it there. The University of Birmingham is where I did my undergraduate degree. I have many fond memories. It has a lovely campus.
Sure. You can find out more about the books from the publishing website, here: www.evidentpress.com/publications/#eapf You can download a free sample of each book, using these links: Academic Presentations: promo.eapfoundation.com/academicpresentations/ Academic Writing Genres: promo.eapfoundation.com/acwrgenres/
Thanks for your support. I hope you found the books useful? What other points did you wish the it had covered? The writing book (Academic Writing Genres) focuses on essays, reports and so on. I'm working on another that deals with academic writing skills, including many covered in recent videos, such as cohesion, coherence, passive voice, formal language, hedging, research and citation skills, and the writing process. That book might be more practical for many students.
Hi. I didn't make this mindmap specifically into an infographic, but there are two infographics for academic idioms (one for speaking, one for writing), and also a worksheet for this video with the images in it. Links below.

Yes, you can, but you need to be careful. Most are not suitable. All the ones in this video are suitable for academic writing, and you can use them confidently in your work. Although it is often assumed that idioms are too informal for use in academic English, two studies (Simpson and Mendis, 2003, and Miller, 2019) identified idioms which are used in academic contexts, more commonly in spoken academic contexts though also in academic writing. The idioms in this video come from Miller's study, which identified 38 idioms which occur with some frequency in academic writing, and 170 which occur with some frequency in academic speaking (such as lectures or presentations). In academic speaking, they account for 835 words per million words, or about 0.1%. So, idioms are not used that frequently, but they are used.

Can we use idioms in formal writings?
Yes, you can, but you need to be careful. Most are not suitable.
All the ones in this video are suitable for academic writing, and you can use them confidently in your work.
