"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 2 features distinct parts that concentrate on important aspects of low-intermediate writing proficiency, allowing teachers to target students' greatest needs and teach practical skills for writing in many different situations. Language Use offers targeted practice of the basic building blocks of writing and grammatical structure of English. Students learn how to expand and connect sentences, choose the correct verb tense, and express themselves effectively and accurately in writing. Social and Personal Writing focuses on writing fluency and gives students opportunities to write about topics they are interested in. Exercises practice writing for communication both on and offline. Academic Writing develops knowledge and skills for writing in academic contexts, such as an introduction to the writing process, proper paragraph structure and format, and common patterns for academic paragraphs. Vocabulary Building highlights the importance of choosing the right words to express ideas in writing, and offers concrete skills for active vocabulary learning. Exercises help students review new vocabulary and allow them to write creatively. 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. Complete online Teacher's Guides can be downloaded. Go to www.pearsonELT.com/writingpower for more information."
