内容简介
This work attempts to fill an important gap in teacher pro fessional preparation by focusing on the grammatical and le x ical features that are es se ntial for all ESL writing teachers and student-writers to know. The fundamental assumption is that before students of English for acade mi c purposes can begin to successfully produce academic writing, they must have the foundations of language in place - the language tools (grammar and vocabulary) they need to build a t ex t. This text offers a compendium of techniques for teaching writing, grammar and lexis to second-language learners that will help teachers effectively target specific problem areas of students' writing. Based on the findings of current research, including a large-scale study of close to 1500 non-native speakers' essays, this book works with several sets of simple rules that collectively can make a noticeable and important difference in the quality of ESL students' writing. The teaching strategies and techniques are based on a highly practical principle for efficiently and successfully max imizing learners' language gains.
