Writers at Work: The Short Composition is based on the popular Bridges to Academic Writing, which it now replaces. The book starts where Writers at Work: The Paragraph leaves off. It teaches low intermediate to intermediate level students how to compose multi-paragraph short compositions. Students tap into their personal experience to organize their writing, using academic modes of organization, such as exemplification and cause and effect. In addition, students learn how to write about works of fiction and nonfiction by summarizing and citing sources. The approach in this book assumes that even lower level students can handle a full-blown process approach. In each chapter, students work through a five-step composing process: Getting Started, Preparing the First Draft, Revising Your Writing, Editing Your Writing, and Following Up.

Writing From Within Intro is the first level of a two-level writing text that draws on students' world knowledge, beliefs, culture, and perceptions to teach organization as well as other aspects of the writing process. Every unit contains brainstorming activities, analysis of writing models, activities focusing on organization, and pre-writing, writing, and post-writing activities. This book is designed to be suitable for large as well as small classes. It has 12 units with self-contained one — or two-page sections, as well as self-contained activities that do not require completion of all previous ones — an advantage in a class where students attend irregularly. There are activities to elicit both oral and written feedback from peers, and optional real-world expansion activities, giving learners the opportunity to communicate with English speakers outside of class.

This groundbreaking undergraduate textbook on modern Standard English grammar is the first to be based on the revolutionary advances of the authors' previous work, The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (2002). The analyses defended there are outlined here more briefly, in an engagingly accessible and informal style. Errors of the older tradition of English grammar are noted and corrected, and the excesses of prescriptive usage manuals are firmly rebutted in specially highlighted notes that explain what older authorities have called 'incorrect' and show why those authorities are mistaken. This book is intended for students in colleges or universities who have little or no previous background in grammar, and presupposes no linguistics. It contains exercises, and will provide a basis for introductions to grammar and courses on the structure of English not only in linguistics departments but also in English language and literature departments and schools of education.
