First Step in Academic Writing

First Steps in Academic Writing is intended for high-beginning writing students of English as a second language. It takes beginning writers from understanding the concept of a paragraph (Unit 1) to writing three basic types of paragraphs: chronological process (Unit 2), spatial description (Unit 3), and listing (Unit 4). Unit 5 shows students how to use examples, and Unit 6 shows how to express and support their opinions. In these last two units, the forms for personal letters and business letters are also taught.
