Description

The Writers at Work series prepares ESL students to tackle academic writing. This book teaches the basics of academic essay writing to intermediate-level students. In Writers at Work: The Essay, students use the process approach to write different genres of essays common at the post-secondary level, including one essay that cites outside sources and timed essays that students write during in-class exams and for standardized tests. Each chapter uses a five-step approach in which students brainstorm ideas, write a first draft, revise their work following peer feedback, and share their finished work. Relevant expressions and grammar are introduced and practiced as well. - from Amzon
