Synopsis:

This succinct, practical guide with readings introduces ESL students to academic writing through a sequenced set of assignments that move from personal, expressive writing to informative and persuasive writing.

From the Publisher: Students write on a single topic of their choice throughout the term'an approach that allows them to focus their analysis and library research and thus encourages them to read, think, and write in greater depth than if they were to write on a variety of topics.
Students build a portfolio through the completion of three major papers, including a final documented paper.
The readings throughout the book were written by ESL students, not by professionals. ESL students gain confidence in their own potential as writers of English by seeing the work of students whose backgrounds are similar to their own.
Chapter 7 offers extensive coverage of summarizing and paraphrasing, including detailed guidelines for documenting sources.
The link between reading and writing is emphasized in nearly every chapter by innovative short-answer reading and writing exercises that ask students to work with current issues.
Chapter 10 offers advice on preparing for and taking essay exams.
