Writing in English: Step by Step: A Systematic Approach to Writing Clear, Coherent, Grammatically Correct Paragraphs for ESL Students and Native ... of English Grammar and Sentence Structure

Description

This book was written for ESL students whose written work looks like this:"It was a busy day at the store. She was a talk on the phone. She not want buy candy for child. He wasnt early his date, he buy eggs but his child she play." In this book, students progress slowly and methodically, with ample writing practice each step of the way. The book starts with the basics the difference between a word, sentence, and paragraph; the difference between a paragraph and a list; how to distinguish complete from incomplete sentences and moves forward from there. Students shed bad usage and punctuation habits early as they learn to edit their work and progress from writing simple paragraphs to writing paragraphs with more varied and complex sentences. This book s methodology is simple; each chapter includes short lessons in grammar, sentence structure, and mechanics that students work through in preparation for an end-of chapter writing assignment that, in most cases, is based on a personal experience. Review: Ottimo - Ho cercato a lungo un testo da usare in classe per accompagnare i miei alunni delle medie verso una scrittura con pochi errori e ben strutturata. Il libro mi è appena arrivato e da una prima occhiata mi sembra fatto molto bene: schede chiare, scritte con caratteri grandi, che in 12 capitoli affrontano la grammatica di base e in concomitanza la scrittura nei suoi vari aspetti. Tantissimi esercizi. Si parte da frasi semplici per costruire alla fine frasi complesse. Non vedo l'ora di usarlo il prossimo anno ; ) Review: This series is the best! - This plus the 2 grammar books are way beyond any other resources for those who want to teach themselves, or who are teaching somebody as i am teaching my wife. I have found that no other books I have really come close to how this method progresses and how effective it is. With explanations in Spanish! How rare and unique indeed. All the other methods seem to introduce vocabulary toooo quickly, and don't progress logically. My wife enjoys using these books. Step by step, really means step by step. The only problem is that we have finished the books and the author has not written more books. What about the future tense! What about the past tense! Please write more.
