Fully revised with additional content, this full colour new edition of Better Writing builds on the success of the original. It is designed to supplement main coursebooks at the low-intermediate to intermediate level and will benefit students at secondary or tertiary institutions as well as adults on vocational or professional training programmes.
The author takes a step-by-step approach to the teaching of writing skills. Each unit begins with activities designed to increase awareness of what writing in English involves and includes practice in:
mechanical skills (spelling, capitalization and punctuation) construction and linking (conjunctions and subordination) grammarThe new 'Language review' section concludes each unit with additional practice in the main language items featured.
