Academic writing in its genre and stylistic organization tends to the scientific functional style (oral and written speech, taking into account the style and composition: structure, argumentation requirements, the use of metalanguage, discursive markers and other elements). The purpose of the article is a brief description of the methods for developing academic writing skills in Linguistics majors (language proficiency level B2-C1). Based on the material of modern literature on the topic of research, as well as on their own experience, the authors made an attempt to describe methods for working with academic writing. An analysis of domestic and foreign literature shows a high interest in the research topic and determines a variety of research priorities, presenting academic writing in the form of an umbrella term, which is considered as a set of methodological, pragmatic, linguistic and other aspects. The main results of the article describe the work on the scientific style and academic writing in native and foreign languages, with ready-made texts and with the preparation of texts. It is noted that academic writing, in addition to its basic form “argument - justification - conclusion”, can have other forms; work with academic writing also includes the development of critical reading skills. The work examines some techniques using information and communication technologies (Grammarly, Plagiarisma, AWL Highlighter, etc.) and case technologies. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the presentation of relevant information on the topic. The considered methods were tested on students with language proficiency level B2-C1; adaptation of methods makes their application possible at other levels. The conclusions provide generalized information on the topic under consideration.
