High Beginning to Low Intermediate
Writers at Work
A Guide to Basic Writing
Jill Singleton
Writers at Work is a high-beginning/low-intermediate
text aimed at preparing students to write academic English. The book begins with
an introductory section that teaches the writing process. Following are eight
chapters focusing on paragraph writing and two final chapters on simple multi-paragraph
writing. Each chapter has five parts, one for each stage of the writing process:
getting ideas, organizing ideas, drafting, revising, and editing. Chapters are
thematic and have such titles as "A Scary or Funny Experience," "The Ideal Spouse,"
and "Holidays."
Student interaction is encouraged through small group work and peer revision.
A special editing reference section at the end deals with the most common errors
that students make in writing.
