Ms. Reid offers a very practical and thorough overview of ESL writing. Topics include ESL composition, curriculum and syllabus design, cross cultural activities, responding to student writing, and evaluating student writing. Very helpful if you’re planning to teach ESL writing and need some suggestions.
