Writing Matters

Writing Matters is for lower-intermediate to indermediate level students of English as a second or foreign language, and is designed to develop and practise the writing skills needed in real-life situations. It provides many useful models for students and teachers to work from and discuss in the classroom.

Writing is presented as a process, determined by the context and the intended reader, and this approach is reflected in the organization of the book into two parts.
Part 1 deals with basic procedures such as preparing, drafting and revising texts, and has useful sections on spelling and punctuation.
Part 2 focuses on writing contexts ranging from the functional (letters of application, postcards, advertisements) to more creative, personal writing.
