Writing Strategies Book One: High Intermediate Book Two: Advanced Text By David Kehe and Peggy Dustin Kehe
To the Kehes: By the way, here at the American English Institute at the University of Oregon, we are using your "Writing Strategies: Book Two" for our level 5 students. For the first time in ages, we are starting to get much better essays! Thanks for the effort that you and Peggy put into the book. Sincerely,
These two texts are jam-packed with writing activities for a student-centered writing course. Simply put, students learn to write by writing, and these books by David and Peggy Kehe keep the students focused on improving their writing from the first to the last minute of the class hour. * Each volume includes three different kinds of activities. Rhetorical Modes. The students follow a careful sequence of steps from preparing the first draft to writing the final essay.
Fluency Writing. In pairs and triads, the students exchange
information on a contemporary topic. They finish the activity by summarizing
in writing what they have talked about. An excellent review of Writing Strategies (specifically the advanced
one) is on the Japanese JALT on-line journal site, The Language Teacher.
