It is well known that many international students have difficulty in writing academic reports at Japanese universities. Until now, most textbooks focused on grammar and expressions at the sentence level. According to research using questionnaires for 108 international students, only 30 percent of students have practiced writing a full-length report, from the introduction to the conclusion, although 80 percent of students were given essay assignments in the first term. In order to increase academic writing skills for first-year students, we have developed a textbook which focuses on template-based writing exercises, which include: 1) writing an introduction; 2) posing a question; 3) stating a thesis; 4) providing evidence; and 5) stating a conclusion.
