As a demonstration of expertise, students have to have a large vocabulary pool on which to draw in writing the continuous assessment essay (CAE) and final-year project that culminate in the award of the classes of the degrees of their choice. Yet, no teacher¿s laudatory efforts can enable his or her students to perform excellently well without the latter taking part of the responsibility for their own learning in such a way as to learn to go beyond the constraints of the use of the common everyday vocabulary item, as stressed in the classroom, and making choice pickings from that additional pool of words they come to know about from their own efforts at pleasurable reading of many kinds. Once the vocabulary pool has been enhanced, it is then put to good use in bouts of writing ¿ assigned both in the classroom and outside it. It is to that end that this introductory book was written.

Specifically written for intermediate students, "English All the Way" prepares them for the intensive reading and writing demands of their freshman courses in language and literature. The book contains a tantalizing menu of reading and writing passages on current topics of great interest, which leads to exercises that encourage students to produce samples of academic English in response to questions on comprehension and summary, as well as on remedial grammar and essay writing. "English All the Way" is invaluable, as it prepares the student to read, think and write in English - as the expert user is supposed to do.
