Abstract

The Effective Academic Writing series teaches the writing modes, rhetorical devices, and language points students need for academic success. Each unit introduces a theme and writing task and then guides the student writer through the process of gathering ideas, organizing an outline, drafting, revising, and editing. Students are given the opportunity to explore their opinions, discuss their ideas, and share their experiences through written communication. Level 1 of the series introduces students to the academic paragraph.

Key features:

. Each unit features succinct, user friendly, self-contained lessons.

. Models of student essays enhance learners' comprehension of writing modes.

. An extensive, yet structured writing task is included in every unit.

. Specific rhetorical focus and language focus points are presented and practised in each unit.

. At level 1, students review the structure of English sentences and learn about the mechanics of writing academic paragraphs. At level 2, they focus on the short essay, and at level 3, they are introduced to longer academic essays.
