"Delta Academic Objectives: Writing Skills" has been written to prepare students for academic writing, placing emphasis not only on developing strong academic writing skills but also on continued language development through five main areas: Structure and organisation, Critical thinking, Using the text, Language focus and Evaluating writing. Structure and organisation activities develop students" skills in planning, organising, structuring and revising their essays. Critical thinking activities teach students to engage critically, constantly challenging and questioning the ideas of others. Using the text activities show students how to strengthen and support their opinions using their research and other sources. Language focus activities develop students" knowledge of the lexis typical of academic texts and enable them to transfer this knowledge into their writing. Evaluating writing activities help students to act upon and incorporate feedback into their future writing. The Teacher"s book contains a range of valuable and helpful features which will greatly add to and enhance the teaching experience: includes full answers and suggested answers where appropriate; sets out the aims of each exercise or activity so teachers can clearly see the intention and the objective of each exercise and plan their lessons accordingly; provides unit-by-unit rationales for each of the four language development areas so teachers can maximize the teaching potential of these areas; and offers additional teaching ideas to help less experienced teachers of EAP, and suggestions how to extend and differentiate activities.
