A stimulating visual program.

UPDATED! A clean and modern design streamlines instruction and increases usability, allowing students to more effectively find and retain the information covered. And, of course, the signature “sunglasses” cover is back by popular demand!

NEW! New dynamic and vibrant images – photos of exotic locales and pop culture icons, as well as images from independent and mainstream films and television shows – engage students and prompt critical thinking.

Chapter visuals encourage students to become better communicators by responding to images.

Chapter-opening visuals in Parts I, II, III, and IV help students think about key chapter concepts in new ways. For example, in the Chapter 9 opener, a photograph of a mechanic’s tool case sets the stage for classification. Tools are grouped by type, which helps students understand the premise of classification.

In Part IV, chapter-opening photos help illustrate the theme of the examples and exercises. These visual aids can also serve as sources for writing prompts.

The visuals in Part II provide students with further opportunities to write in response to images, with Media Writing activities that encourage them to respond using particular paragraph and essay patterns.

The Visualizing the Mode feature helps students see how to use each paragraph pattern by providing a visual overview of the paragraph mode.

Seamless coverage for nonnative speakers.

Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke have more than 30 years of combined experience in teaching nonnative speakers of English. They’ve drawn upon their own expertise – as well as the input of many instructors nationwide – to develop practical and pedagogically sound approaches that have been classroom tested.

ESL material is seamlessly integrated into the text for maximum benefit to all students. With this approach, nonnative speakers do not feel self-conscious and segregated, and native speakers do not tune out detailed explanations that may also benefit them.

More than 75 ESL Teaching Tips, designed specifically to help instructors better meet the needs of their nonnative speakers, can be found in the Annotated Instructor’s Edition. These tips were de¿rived from the authors’ firsthand classroom experience, the input of 16 experts in English language training, and the feedback of The Writer’s World users.

Vocabulary Boosts prompt students to review and improve their own writing by enhancing their vocabulary.

Effective tools and strategies for addressing varying skill levels.

Thematic grammar chapters engage students in studying and learning grammar by putting it in the context of an interesting topic. These themes include topics related to popular culture, psychology, spies and hackers, college life, the environment, health care, the legal world, and the workplace. The thematic approach enables students to broaden their awareness of subjects important to American life, such as understanding advertising and consumerism and thinking about health care issues and alternative medicine.
