Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-24 00:00:00 Stephan Moore Writing skills are very important for college and secondary school students. English teachers at college or secondary school must teach their students writing to make them quality in the job market. no doubt, employers want their employees who are well skilled in writing. We do correspondence with our customs out there through emails, so teaching writing is indispensable work for English teachers. Cheryl Glenn knows this before and designs a smooth way for teachers to pass through on their way forward teaching writing. conducting peer review sessions, grading skills, workshops, conferences, writing assignments, useful websites are some of the strategies used for the classroom. However, guidelines on how to prepare for the course including prompts for designing a workable class schedule, syllabus, and major assignments throughout the semester are skillfully included. Teaching style based on theory and pedagogy, teaching delivery, everyday activities, successful writing assignments and delivery pedagogy, teaching invention, teaching arrangements and form and evaluation students essays are chapters in this book. I highly recommend this book for Tanzanians English teachers at college and secondary school level who want to take their students to an international level different from what and how they usually used to for years now.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-19 00:00:00 Dave Chow There's a good amount of standard but solid advice in the early chapters of this book, but I found the third part, which consisted of reprints of articles about writing from the past few decades to be oddly curated and not very useful given the overall point to the book. Put slightly differently, they made the collection swing from being practice-driven to theory-driven in a way that didn't feel entirely helpful for the purposes that the overall volume is pitched.
