WRITING Series (One-Year English Program)

These books have been designed to enhance the students' writing ability. Each book contains 8 units, with each unit covering 2 lessons. Instruction in the various writing techniques is imparted through the use of interesting topics while recycling of these techniques is carried out wherever possible. Although the focus of this book is on writing, the other skills (listening, reading and speaking) are also incorporated in the activities.

Through these books, students are expected to improve their fluency as well as accuracy in the use of English, enabling them to write clear and comprehensible pieces of writing.
