Engaging Writing, a newly expanded two-level series, gives
students the concepts and skills they need for success in academic
writing. Engaging Writing provides clear, step-by-step instruction
in the writing process, focusing first on paragraphs (Engaging
Writing 1) and progressing to essays (Engaging Writing 2).
Engaging Writing fully supports the needs of intermediate to
advanced ESL learners.
Features of the new edition of Engaging Writing 2:
- Introductory readings establish chapter themes and provide context
for vocabulary exercises.
- Case studies of student writing provide realistic models of the
writing process.
- Part I contains thematically-oriented, process-based writing
instruction updated with fresh models and exercises. Chapter 1 reviews
paragraph writing and Chapters 2-5 guide students in writing essays
using various rhetorical models.
- Part II highlights the issue of academic honesty and shows
students how to quote, paraphrase, summarize, cite, and incorporate
source material.
Appendices provide comprehensive grammar and mechanics review for
reference and practice.
Together Engaging Writing 1 and 2 feature a solid
pedagogical core, using clearly presented and logically sequenced
rhetorical, grammatical, and lexical teaching points supported by
high-interest activities.
