"Writing Power is a new, interactive four-level series designed to help students develop the writing fluency and language skills they need for successful written communication in today's social, academic, and professional contexts.

Writing Power 4 features four distinct parts that concentrate on important aspects of advanced writing proficiency, allowing teachers to target students' greatest needs and teach practical skills for writing in many different situations.
Writing Fluency builds skills for effective, fluent written expression in English through journaling, blogging, and creative writing. Exercises give students opportunities to write about topics they are interested in and practice writing for communication both on and offline
Language Use teaches essential strategies for active vocabulary learning as well as language for connecting ideas in writing. Units and exercises focus on the finer mechanics of English and help students polish their writing and choose the best way to express their ideas.
Academic Writing guides students through the academic writing process, from pre-writing strategies, to working with research sources and avoiding plagiarism, to drafting, revising, and citing sources for an academic essay.
Social and Professional Writing covers the world of work and business. Exercises focus on useful knowledge and skills for written communication in a variety of real-life contexts, such as writing professional networking, writing cover letters and résumés, and crafting speeches and presentations.

To support and supplement in-class practice, the Writing Power Blog can be found at http://pearsonELT.com/writingpowerblog. Teachers can log on to set up a private class blog, where students can post writing assignments and communicate with classmates in a fun online environment." (Book Cover)
