Series Editor’s Preface
The English Language Teacher Development (ELTD) series consists of a set of short resource books for ESL/EFL teachers that are written in a jargon-free and accessible manner for all types of teachers of English (native, nonnative, experienced, and novice). The ELTD series is designed to offer teachers a theory-to-practice approach to second language teaching, and each book presents a wide variety of practical approaches to and methods of teaching the topic at hand. Each book also offers reflections to help teachers interact with the materials presented. The books can be used in preservice settings or in in-service courses and by individuals looking for ways to refresh their practice. Now, after nearly 10 years in print, the ELTD series presents newly updated, revised editions that are even more dynamic than their first editions. Each of these revised books has an expanded number of chapters, as well as updated references from which various activities have been drawn and lesson plans for teachers to consider.
Jennifer Mott-Smith, Zuzana Tomaš, and Ilka Kostka’s revised edition of Teaching Writing again explores different approaches to how teachers can teach writing in second language classrooms. They have added a chapter on designing writing assignments, updated the references and research, and added more reflective breaks as well as new activities throughout the book, as well as lesson plans teachers at various levels can consider. This revised edition is again a valuable addition to the literature in our profession.
I am very grateful to the authors of the ELTD series for sharing their knowledge and expertise with other TESOL professionals to make these short books affordable for all language teachers throughout the world. It is truly an honor for me to work again with each of these authors for the advancement of TESOL.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This book focuses on teaching academic writing to second language (L2) school-age and adult writers of English. At the heart of teaching writing is the objective of helping writers capture their own meanings and produce good
writing. However, good writing is not a stable concept because what is considered good writing varies according to the type of text being produced, the purpose for writing it, the audience for whom it is being written, and the medium in which the message is delivered.
To illustrate, if you were writing a script for a television commercial, the purpose would be to create a desire for the product. Some of the hallmarks of writing you learned in school might be irrelevant to the task; for example, you would not need to establish logical relationships between ideas. Rather, you might associate your product with an image that contains emotional appeal. Also, using formal language would be unnecessary, and the audience of your commercial would have been narrowed from the general viewer to a specific group of consumers. Thus, good writing would relate to the text
