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!

Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore
The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students by meeting the needs of nonnative English speakers, visual learners and students with varying skill levels!
What are the diverse needs of your students? Do you have students with varying skill levels? Do you have nonnative English speakers in your courses? How many of your students are visual learners? Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke put their classroom teaching experience to use by writing The Writer’s World for you and your students. This ground breaking developmental writing series was written and designed from the ground up to address the greatest teaching challenges and the diverse needs of today’s students.
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. Gaetz and Phadke have extensive experience teaching ESL courses. They believe “ESL material” can benefit all students. Therefore, there are no references to ESL or nonnative English speakers in the student text. The material is seamlessly integrated into the student text for maximum benefit. The Annotated Instructor’s Edition also includes over 75 ESL Teaching Tips.
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. Many chapter-opening photos are linked to concepts to help students retain key information. The Visualizing Writing CD-Rom, included in every copy of The Writer’s World, features 55 audio and animated “mini-lectures” on key writing and grammar topics. These mini-lectures help engage visual and audio learners by providing pertinent information in additional format.
Varying Skill Level:
The authors address students' varying skill-levels in the clarity of explanations and with the numerous practice exercises to help students master their individual areas of weakness. In addition, thematic grammar chapters make the material more engaging. And with grammar, more engaging often means more effective, allowing students to retain more of the key building blocks to becoming better writers.
The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students!

Recall exercises test students on the basics of good writing skills. Apply exercises test students’ ability to improve others’writing. Write exercises challenge students to create their own well-written responses to open-ended questions.
Students move from literal comprehension (Recall) to critical comprehension (Apply) to demonstrating concepts to their own writing (Write). This progression of critical thinking, not available in any other online resource, enables students to truly master the skills and concepts they need to be successful writers. - Progress Tracker: All student work in MyWritingLab is captured in the Progress Tracker. Students can monitor their own progress and instructors can track the progress of their entire class in this flexible and easy-to-use tool.
- Pearson Tutor Services, (powered by SmarThinking). Offering students full time support in their writing efforts, SmarThinking is an online tutoring service that provides students with paper review 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Research Navigator™ provides helpful tips on the writing process, online research, and finding and citing valid sources in addition to thousands of academic journals and periodicals, the New York Times Search by Subject Archive, Link Library, Library Guides, and more.
- Study Skills Website helps students review strategies for college success, and learn time management, stress management, and study skills.

Mosaics: Focusing on Essays illustrates how the companion skills of reading and writing are parts of a larger, interrelated process that moves back and forth through the tasks of prereading and reading, prewriting and writing, and revising and editing.
Experience tells us that students have the best chance of succeeding in college if they learn how to respond productively to the varying academic demands made on them throughout the curriculum. One extremely important part of this process is being able to analyze ideas and think critically about issues in many different subject areas. Mosaics: Focusing on Essays illustrates how the companion skills of reading and writing are parts of a larger, interrelated process that moves back and forth through the tasks of prereading and reading, prewriting and writing, and revising and editing. This book encourages students to discover how the “mosaics” of their own reading and writing processes work together to form a coherent whole. By demonstrating the interrelationship among thinking, reading, and writing on progressively more difficulty levels, Mosaics promises to help prepare students for success in college throughout the curriculum.

What do your students want in a textbook?
Your life’s work is centered on connecting to your students and preparing them for productive futures. Pamela Arlov created the Wordsmith series to help you connect with your students. We asked professors what they thought their students would want in a textbook. Here’s what we heard and how Wordsmith addresses today’s students:
1) Students find textbooks dry and tedious. Arlov includes engaging grammar openers, plenty of visuals, and has a writing style that is second to none!
2) Students find textbooks irrelevant to their lives. Arlov’s combination of the rhetorical modes is realistic and models real life writing. She has also added “Real Writing” examples in the modes chapters to make Wordsmith even more relevant to students’ lives.
3) Students become frustrated if the entire text is not used in class. Wordsmith is 100 pages briefer than similar texts on the market and an affordable option. This concise approach also does not overwhelm students with too much information. Wordsmith provides students with just the right balance of instruction and practice!
The Wordsmith series is your value-packed option that students will appreciate while mastering key writing and grammar skills.

The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students by meeting the needs of nonnative English speakers, visual learners and students with varying skill levels!
What are the diverse needs of your students? Do you have students with varying skill levels? Do you have nonnative English speakers in your courses? How many of your students are visual learners? Lynne Gaetz and Suneeti Phadke put their classroom teaching experience to use by writing The Writer’s World for you and your students. This ground breaking developmental writing series was written and designed from the ground up to address the greatest teaching challenges and the diverse needs of today’s students.
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. Gaetz and Phadke have extensive experience teaching ESL courses. They believe “ESL material” can benefit all students. Therefore, there are no references to ESL or nonnative English speakers in the student text. The material is seamlessly integrated into the student text for maximum benefit. The Annotated Instructor’s Edition also includes over 75 ESL Teaching Tips.
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. Many chapter-opening photos are linked to concepts to help students retain key information. The Visualizing Writing CD-Rom, included in every copy of The Writer’s World, features 55 audio and animated “mini-lectures” on key writing and grammar topics. These mini-lectures help engage visual and audio learners by providing pertinent information in additional format.
Varying Skill Level:
The authors address students' varying skill-levels in the clarity of explanations and with the numerous practice exercises to help students master their individual areas of weakness. In addition, thematic grammar chapters make the material more engaging. And with grammar, more engaging often means more effective, allowing students to retain more of the key building blocks to becoming better writers.
The Writer’s World addresses the diverse needs of your students!
