Long description:

The new edition of this comprehensive text fills an important role in teacher professional preparation by focusing on how to teach the grammar and vocabulary that are essential for all L2 writing teachers and student-writers.

Targeting specific problem areas of students? writing, this text offers a wealth of techniques for teaching writing, grammar, and vocabulary to second-language learners.



Updated with current research and recent corpus analysis findings, the second edition features a wealth of new materials, including new teaching activities; student exercises and assignments; and substantially revised appendices with supplementary word and phrase lists and sentence components.
