Synopsis

Prof. Sanchez Escobar's study reflects careful collection and analysis of linguistic data in the most scientifically accurate details. Although the data itself is most interesting, his conclusions really constitute his major contribution to the academic and pedagogical communities. They explain why Spanish speakers learning English have such a difficult time learning the English structure for essays: thesis, supporting points, conclusion, and why English speakers learning Spanish seem to write compositions that are blunt, inelegant, and devoid of the verbal virtuosity so prized by Spanish speakers. Dr. Frieda H. Blackwell (Baylor University, Waco, Texas)
