"A unique four-step approach, moving students from context into communication [with] the full integration of language skills providing a complete program for language learners [and] a variety of ongoing assessment tools [to] ensure that progress is measurable."--Page 4 of cover.
Through controlled and communicative exercises this text helps students to bridge the gap between identifying grammatical structures and using them. Each unit progresses through four steps: grammar in context, grammar presentation, focused practice and communication practice. Includes circling, matching, filling-in-the-blank, underlining, correcting, completion, short answer and writing exercises.
Academic writing is difficult, and Final Draft gives students all the tools they need. Writing skills and in-depth analysis of models set the stage for development. Corpus-based vocabulary, collocations, and phrases, as well as detailed information on the grammar of writing, prepare your learners for college writing courses. Students learn to avoid plagiarism in every chapter of every level. This dedicated, long-term focus on plagiarism avoidance helps ensure that these students are able to use sources and highlight their own thoughts.
