Write To Be Read is a high-intermediate writing text designed to teach ESL/EFL students to write convincing paragraphs and academic essays with greater fluency. The methodology is a blend of both process and product approaches to writing. Students focus on process as they develop their thinking about a topic through reading, discussion, and reflection. Then, using authentic student essays as models, they focus on products as they learn to shape their writing to meet the expectations of educated native readers of English. - Back cover.
