Study Writing is for learners who need to write complete texts in English as part of their studies or work.

 Part I presents and practises different principles of organising information in writing, such as classifying, defining, and describing sequences and cycles. Each unit focuses on a relevant aspect of grammar and provides learners with a range of comprehension and writing tasks. Part II explores one possible framework for handling complete texts: recognising a situation, defining the problem involved, presenting and evaluating solutions.

• adopts an interactive approach emphasising the close relationship between writer and reader;
• concentrates on writing as a process, with many opportunities for cooperative work in pairs and small groups;
• enables learners to progress from producing short pieces of guided writing to creating longer texts with less guidance;
• provides up to 40-60 hours of classwork, with opportunities for further writing as homework;
• includes a detailed Teacher’s Guide.
