Taken from the Read to Write series, this bilingual manual explains the basic format of English writing and the mechanics of English sentence construction. It addresses the problems that cause the most problems for Japanese students including the rules for using capital letters, the formation of compound and complex sentences, and the correct usage of because and so. The points are listed numerically so that teachers can direct students to specific sections simply by writing the relevant numbers on their papers. In this way, the English Writing Manual allows teachers to give detailed feedback in both English and Japanese without taking up any classroom time. This second edition of the book includes practice exercises for each of the points in the manual.
