The English for Academic Success series is a comprehensive program of<br />
student and instructor materials. The fundamental purpose of the program is<br />
to prepare students who are not native speakers of English for academic<br />
success in U.S. college degree programs.<br />
The <strong>Writing</strong> strand of the English for Academic Success series<br />
focuses on the development of writing skills and general background<br />
knowledge necessary for college study. It is dedicated to meeting academic<br />
needs of students by teaching them how to handle the writing demands<br />
and expectations of college-level classes. The goals of the writing books are<br />
to build on the strengths of the students, to respect the knowledge they<br />
have, and to identify and teach language, content, and rhetoric that<br />
students must have to succeed in college courses.
