Written by Joy Reid, a leading authority on teaching composition to ESL students, this series guides learners from basic sentence structure to advanced academic writing. It offers writing examples, academic prose production opportunities, and sequenced assignments that progressively increase in complexity, enabling students to tackle assignments at university and graduate school levels. The inclusion of both strong and weak student compositions, from native and non-native English speakers, enhances the learning experience. A hallmark of Reid's approach is the emphasis on peer interaction through partnerships, small groups, and class discussions. This new edition emphasizes essential academic writing techniques and formats, preparing students for college-level tasks by guiding them from pre-writing to completed papers.
