A balanced approach to writing guides students through the writing process and teaches them the mechanics of good writing.
Grammar explanations and exercises woven throughout each chapter help students express their ideas more clearly.
Vocabulary exercises introduce high-frequency words students need in their daily lives plus words from the Academic Word List students will encounter in college.
