I've used Longman's English Skills With Readings in an ESL/native English speaker beginning writing class.  The text teaces various rhetorical modes and has grammar lessons in the middle of the text, but the readings are pretty high level.  It might well be part of  the Longman Academic Writing Series.

Subject: [EnglishLanguage 4374] Question about Writing Textbooks


Hi All

I am teaching a multi-level low intermediate-high advanced writing class this semester and am caught between two series of books:  Keith Folse's et al. Great Paragraphs, etc. and The Longman Academic Writing Series.  I want a text that will combine explicit grammar points with model writings.  I am also looking for different types of writing - compare/contrast, descriptive, narrative, etc.  I am probably going to use two books in class but would like to stick to one series if possible.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
