This is a helpful little book with everything an Education student needs to know about academic writing and much more! Written in user friendly language it is a useful tool to help you improve your writing at the tertiary level.

Grellier, J. & Goerke, V. (2006) Communication Skills Toolkit: Unlocking the Secrets of Tertiary Success.  South Melbourne, Victoria: Thomson Social Science Press.

This is a book written by two local writers from Curtin University, and is a more general book about academic writing rather than being specifically for Education students.  Again the book is written in user friendly language.
