Writing 4
Andrew Littlejohn
Cambridge University Press

Writing 4 presents writing as an activity which contributes to language learning in general. Throughout the book, learners are encouraged to use written English to express their own ideas and to communicate with each other in the advanced level classroom. The book concentrates on writing as a process and presents a variety of approaches to the skill, such as ways of gathering and organising ideas, producing drafts and getting feedback. It also encourages students to explore personal approaches to writing and develops different kinds of writing such as short stories, poetry, argument, formal and personal letters. A number of linked units allow a topic to be developed further through projects and mini-simulations.
