The ESL Writer's Handbook is a reference work for ESL students who
are taking college-level courses. Because its purpose is to provide
help with the broad variety of writing questions students may have
when working on school assignments, the text focuses on English for
Academic Purposes. Unlike other handbooks on the market, this
book's sole purpose is to address the issues of second language
learners. The spiral-bound Handbook complements a student writer's
dictionary, thesaurus, and grammar reference book. It would be
suitable as a text for an advanced ESL writing course when used
together with the companion Workbook (978-0-472-03726-1). The new
edition features significant revisions to Sections 3 and 4; in
particular, both APA and MLA style guides have been updated and new
sample papers for each are included. The new edition includes new
and revised exercises and many new samples of student writing. Like
its predecessor, the Second Edition has these special features: The
topic selection is based on ESL writers' needs as observed by the
authors over many years. The coverage of topics is more complete
than the limited amount usually provided for ESL writers in first
language or L1 handbooks. The explanatory language is appropriate
for ESL students, in contrast to the more complex and idiomatic
language of other English handbooks. Many of the examples of
paragraphs, essays, research papers, and exercise sentences were
written by ESL students to help users realize that they too can
become effective writers.
