505			_aUnlike some other texts, Practical English Writing Skills covers information needed both in and out of the classroom in the same book; it will be a useful reference long after classroom study has ended. From filling out a job application to writing a research paper, each type of writing is discussed and explained in a straightforward, helpful manner. Each section includes models of actual writing samples, so users can see exactly what it is they are trying to achieve.
505			_aWith each type of writing, the author has provided a rationale (especially valuable for students learning a new culture), along with lists of important vocabulary, materials needed, and skills involved in the writing task. A step-by-step procedure and example aid students in visualizing the writing process. Finally, each lesson concludes with an opportunity to practice the new writing skill in a real-life context.
