Description

Designed to prepare ESL students for the demands of academic writing, Transitions helps students move from writing paragraphs to essays and from concrete to abstract writing topics. Thematically arranged, the text integrates reading, writing, and grammar activities into each chapter while emphasizing the writing process and peer editing. The Second Edition updates the readings written by a wide range of culturally diverse, international authors and adds new supplemental reading lists to most chapters. To move students more quickly into essay writing, the Second Edition reduces the number of paragraph-writing assignments. Although intended for academically oriented intermediate to low-advanced ESL students, Transitions is flexible, allowing instructors to adapt it to various skill levels and different types of programs. The Instructor's Manual offers advice on tailoring the text to student needs and provides additional activities and exercises.
