Paragraph Development - A Guide for Students of English As a Second Language

Publisher: Prentice-Hall. Inc. 1981
193 Pages.
Paragraph Development is an integrated guide for high intermediate to advanced learners of English. It focuses on the physical paragraph as a basic unit of composition common to most forms of academic, business, professional, and general-purpose writing. It is designed to be flexible enough to be used as a writing component in an intensive or semi-intensive program or as an independent writing course. The book is based on the theory that if a student is able to write a unified, coherent paragraph, transferring this skill to full composition writing will not be difficult. The approach in each chapter is direct and functional: a model is provided and graphically explained; then the student is asked to imitate the model.
