Writing Academic English, Fourth Edition (The Longman Academic Writing Series, Level 4)

I have used this book in the past, but I would never order if I were making a book choice unless the class is for native speakers. This book is published (I believe) by the ESL division of Pearson, but I believe it is too complex for ESL students. The language is difficult and it is too "science"-oriented for my taste. I think it works better in ESL as a reference book for the instructor, to be honest. Also, I would have given it two stars except that one of the introductory paragraphs repeats the often-spread rumor about Eskimos having a bazillion words for snow. Any text that spreads this nonsense is off to a bad start.

It's the book I strongly recommand for ESL student. It helps a lot in writing essay.

Using this textbook for the first time this year, I found it to be both well organized and contain interesting content, which helped pique the students' interest. After spending much time researching potential texts, this one was by and far the best. I only wish it had come with a teacher's edition providing creative suggestions for proceeding through the book (I'm a new teacher). Still, it has allowed me to organize the class into pairs and groups, when I wish, quite well for the practice exercises in order to create a more relaxed and student centered atmosphere. I also recommend alternating between chapters focusing on paragraph/essay and those on sentence structure. Overall I highly recommend it for upper-intermediate/advanced high school or university students. Very well done!

i'm very satisfied with the condition of the book. The package arrived on time. Very trustworthy!

This is a good introductory book on academic writing.
The content is very well organized and clearly presented.
I would highly recommend you to have a copy of it.
