Book excerpt: Writing for Advanced Learners of English is a collection of stimulating writing activities for advanced learners of English language and literature in upper-secondary schools and universities. The four sections of the book encourage freer written expression through a series of steps:Manipulation focuses on aspects of accuracy including punctuation and editing; Imitation allows students to work inventively within a range frameworks, for example, acrostics and parody;Variations on a theme encourages students to explore parallel but different ways of expressing the same idea, for example, writing about the same event from different stances;Invention contains more opened-ended, creative tasks.Throughout the tasks draw on an inspiring collection of sources that acts as the stimulus for written work, for example, postcards, advertisements, paintings, journalistic texts, prose and poetry.
