Abstract

A research-informed and very practical handbook, which provides a wealth of ideas and activities to practise and develop writing skills. Organised around writing contexts that generate different genres, it covers all language levels from A1 to C2 and includes a focus on writing for exams, academic purposes and the workplace.

It contains a comprehensive introduction which provides an overview of approaches in teaching writing, managing writing lessons, and giving feedback, and provides a clear rationale for the organisation and activities in the book. The book contains over 100 practical ideas which practise and develop writing skills. It encompasses a wide range of activities associated with an extensive range of genres commonly focused on in English language classrooms.
