Language Teaching Writing

Writing provides an introduction to both traditional and more recent approaches to the teaching of this skill, and shows how current teaching materials put these approaches into practice. The reader is encouraged to think about the reasons for teaching writing, and to see how many different types of writing - factual or creative, public or personal, business or academic - can be brought into the language classroom.
