Description

This book, divided into three sections, has a number of photocopiable materials which help English learners who speak other languages to develop high-quality academic compositions. Activities move students through a step-by-step process which builds an understanding of the writer's main purpose, communication. Students learn about different grammatical errors which interfere with understanding; genres and the associated purposes governing their use; and research skills needed to build quality content.The first two sections (Part I and Part II) provide writing examples with three different drafts: a first draft, a first draft with teacher comments, and a final draft. Part I and Part II of this book contain writings that build in complexity from small paragraphs to large essays, which help learners to gain writing skills appropriate for study in American university contexts.The first draft has errors in content, structure, and/or grammar. Before giving first drafts, students should identify a strategy for editing. For example, they may first be prompted to read only for content, examining whether or not it is understandable and organized. After they are finished editing content, they can use a system to scan for grammatical errors one at a time (nouns, verbs, noun/verb agreement, sentence structure, etc.).The next draft has teacher comments designed to give learners additional hints without providing answers. Not all errors may be targeted through these comments, thereby preventing learners from relying only on teacher comments. The final draft is corrected, giving students an opportunity to identify errors, as well as the process an author must go through to correct a text. Rather than giving texts with errors first, final drafts of essays may be used as examples of how to write. Through reviewing final drafts, learners can identify useful expressions and methods to write in different genres (academic essays, reading response, literature analysis, and narrative). There are also research and writing questions at the end of each final draft, which allow students to explore and use the content they have studied.The final section of the book, Part III, focuses on editing grammar. Exercises start by emphasizing just one grammatical point. Exercises then mix grammatical points, giving learners the idea of how to use a system to edit (checking for one grammatical feature at a time). In the middle of Part III, learners are prompted to make a grammar editing checklist to reflect on the system they must use to fix grammar. Both APA and MLA formats are used within this book. Attention is drawn to each type of formatting. Links to additional information about citations are also provided. At the end of the book, students are prompted to describe which type of formatting is being used.
