dc.description.abstractAcademic writing has its own rules and practices which may be organized in accordance with a specific arrangement in order to present ideas and to assure to support them by author citations. Professional academic writing consists of a series of factual statements which are added to the truth, mainly in the hard sciences. However, it is now widely recognized that any written text involves an interaction between writer and reader. In this interaction readers anticipate the lines of thought of writers, interrogate them, and evaluate the piece of writing for its usefulness and importance to their own research). Most research papers require careful attention to some specific features of academic writing; namely, complexity, formality, precision, objectivity, explicitness, accuracy, responsibility, planning, and hedging. Precisely, hedging devices are among essential elements of academic writing for supporting or rejecting hypotheses or theories. Therefore, the aim of this research paper is to propose a bank of useful phrases for hedging in English academic writing for students of the degree course English Language with A Second Foreign Language (French) at Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas. To this end, a 30 theses/dissertations corpus taken from the websites of Brigham Young University, Portland State University and The University of Edinburgh was compiled and manually processed to assure whether a word functions as a hedge or not. The bank will help improve students’ proficiency when writing research papers, term papers and diploma papers throughout their study years and future professional careers.en_US
