Exploring Options is designed to help student writers develop their
knowledge and use of academic language to meet the demands of
college- and university-level writing assignments. It draws on the
research identifying lexical and grammatical patterns across
academic contexts and provides authentic reading contexts for
structured vocabulary learning. Recognizing that vocabulary choices
in writing often require consideration of grammatical structure,
Exploring Options focuses on specific kinds of lexico-grammatical
decisions-that is, the ones involving the interaction between
vocabulary and grammar-that students face in shaping, connecting,
and restructuring their ideas. The book helps writers learn how to
effectively use resources such as learner dictionaries,
thesauruses, and concordancers to improve academic word knowledge.
Following a unit on using resources for vocabulary development, the
contents are divided into three parts: Showing Relationships within
Sentences, Connecting and Focusing across Sentences, and Qualifying
Statements and Reporting Research. Part 1 focuses on verbs and
modifiers that express increases and decreases, verbs and abstract
nouns that describe change, connectors and verbs describing causal
relationships, and parallel structures. Part 2 explores the words
that help connect ideas and add cohesion. Part 3 discusses how to
express degrees of certainty and accuracy and the use of reporting
verbs.
