BASIC COMPOSITION FOR ESL combines traditional approaches to composition with process writing through step-by-step explanations, exercises, and strategies.  It has been designed for university-bound students or professionals who are studying English as a Second Language yet it is flexible enough to be used by any others wanting to improve their basic writing skills. The text is intended to be used after students have gained rudimentary competence in writing at the sentence level.
