Introduction to Academic Writing.
Introduction to Academic Writing, Third Edition, is an intermediate writing textbook/ workbook for Engiish language learners in academic seitings. It teaches rhetoric and sentence structure in a strarghtforward manner, using a step-by-step approach, high-interest models, and varied practices.
Students are guided through the writing process to produce well-organized, adeyuately developed paragraphs and essays. Explanations are simple, and numerous practices help students assimilate each skill. The book contains ten chapters: Chapiers 1-8 teach paragraphs, and Chapters 9 and 10 introduce the essay. Most chapiers also teach sentence structure, starting with simple sentences and progressing through compound and complex sentences. The chapters also include instruction in the writing process and punctuation. Instructors familiar with the Second Edition will find several changes. We have made these changes in response to the comments of reviewers and teachers who
have used the-Second Edition over the years. Paragraph writing takes center stage in this edition. Following two introductory chapters on paragraph format and structure are six more chapters on the paragraph. Essays are introduced in the final two chapters. As a result, rhetorical instruction lows more seguentially from paragraph to essay.
There are more paragraph modes: narration, description, logical division of ideas, process, definiuon, and comparison'/contrast. Each is presented in its own chapter. The organization of individual chapters has been changed. The gap between prewriting and final draft has been closed.
The challenging but important academic skill of summary writing is introduced early on, in Chapter 3, and opportunities to write summaries are sprinkled throughout the book. Models and practice items have been updated or replaced. Old favorites have been retained, sometimes in a different form. New Try It Out! exercises allow students to try out new skills informally, without the pressure of being graded on their efforts. Jourral writing has been added as an option. Instructions and topic suggestions appear as Appendix A at the back of the book. » There are separate worksheets for self-editing and peer editing.
