This innovative, confidence-building workbook is based on the assumption that learners can use their verbal and oral skills to develop better writing skills. It presents writing not as a totally new discipline, but merely as a more logical and formal application of an expertise already possessed—talking. A multitude of exercises, assignments, and writing suggestions allow learners to develop their writing, editing, and revising skills while building an understanding of basic grammar. A six-part organization covers: preparing to write, writing good paragraphs, paragraph strategies, writing good essays, sentence basics, and the 20 most common sentence errors. For native speakers of English—and those who speak it as a second language—who want to improve their grammar and writing skills.
