This textbook is designed to enhance the thinking and writing
skills that students need for both academic and occupational
success. It helps to prepare students for the verbal portions of
the SAT, PSAT, ACT, GED, and GRE and offers tips on how to pass
writing tests often required for promotion/graduation and on-the-
job writing assignments.
The authors of this book, both experienced teachers, examine the
controversy surrounding two popular methods for teaching writing --
the "process" approach and its offspring, Writing Across the
Curriculum. Both have recently been called into question for their
ineffectiveness. An alternative lesser-known procedure called
"sentence combining," which has been proven successful in numerous
studies over the past fifteen years, finally is gaining the
attention it deserves. Using the sentence combining approach, the
authors present a rationale for re-thinking and re-tooling the
English classroom and consequently making the entire educational
system work more effectively.
