The Writer's World addresses the diverse needs of your students.

 

The Writer’s World seamlessly integrates key elements and strategies that attend to the variety of needs students bring to the course.

 

Nonnative English Speakers:

The Writer’s World helps instructors meet the needs of the nonnative English speakers in their class better than any other text on the market:

  • The authors; With Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke’s expertise in teaching nonnative speakers of English, ESL material is a strength of The Writer’s World texts. They believe this material can benefit all students.
  • ESL material is seamlessly integrated into the student text for maximum benefit, often in the form of a ‘Hint’ box. By identifying them as ESL topics only in the Annotated Instructor’s Edition (and not the student version) this important information can benefit  both native and nonnative speakers.
  • ESL Teaching Tips: The Annotated Instructor’s Edition also includes over 75 ESL Teaching Tips. Many of these teaching tips were derived from the author’s first hand experience teaching nonnative speakers in the classroom, while others have been suggested by users of The Writer’s World and 16 experts in the field of English language training.

Visual Learners:

With a contemporary, open design, over 60 images and additional tables, charts, and graphs, The Writer’s World supports visual learners like no other text. The Writer’s World layout grabs students’ attention and draws them into the material:

  • Chapter opening photos: Many chapter-opening photos are linked to concepts to help students retain key information.
  • Visuals to illustrate concepts: The Writer’s World uses numerous visuals throughout the text to illustrate concepts, including tables and charts, the chapter opening photos and “…at Work” boxes.
  • NEW- Visual Writing Prompts: Topics and ideas for essay writing can come from a number of different sources. The Writer’s World encourages students to take inspiration from examining photos and images. These visual prompts, found at the end of each writing chapter and thematic unit, give students varied and engaging options for finding an essay topic. 

Varying Skill Level:

The authors address students' varying skill-levels by including material that is engaging to students in a contemporary concept.

  • Thematic grammar chapters: This unique way of presenting grammar concepts thematically makes students more engaged in studying and learning grammar. The more engaging the material, the more likely students will retain key concepts.
  • MyWritingLab, the best online writing instruction and practice available for students, is automatically included with each copy of The Writer’s World.

NEW TO THIS EDITION

  • Visual Writing Prompts: The second edition has an even stronger visual program with pedagogical value. Throughout Part 2, new photos next to some practices provide a visual companion to the text information. In Part 3, New Photo Writing and Film Writing prompts have been added. These visuals provide students with opportunities to write in response to images using particular paragraph or essay patterns.
  • Thematic Material: The reading selections are now organized by four broad themes: “Human History, Habits, and Relationships,” “Entertainment, Culture, and Beliefs,” “The Earth and Its Creatures,” and “Politics and the Business World.” This thematic arrangement ties the readings more closely to the grammar chapters, which all have theme-based practices to help students build their base of general knowledge.
  • User Community Tips in AIE: Current The Writer's World  users share their tips, experiences and best practices in the margins of the Annotated Instructors Edition.
  • ESL Teaching Tips have been expanded upon and reviewed by ESL experts.
  • Classification added: The 2/e has an even richer selection of paragraph patterns with the addition of the classification pattern in Chapter 4, bringing the number of rhetorical modes covered to nine. A new classification essay, “What’s Your Humor Style?” has also been added to chapter 29.
  • The Editing Handbook: The major revisions in the Editing Handbook were to practices. Each item of every activity was examined  to ensure that it was interesting, current, and not confusing. Many indidividual items were changes, and whole activities replaced in many of the Part 2 chapters.
  • MyWritingLab ships automatically with every copy of The Writer’s World!
