The second book, Achieving Clarity in English: A Whole-Language Book, Fourth Edition, helps students who have achieved fluent writing and reading to bridge the gap into academic writing and reading, as they read historical novels or best-selling non-fiction, and write a semester-long project on an academic topic of their choosing. It also helps them to edit errors in verbs, sentence boundaries, and spelling. Again, students work in groups to revise writings and to discuss the books they are reading and their projects. The fourth edition includes additional readings, exercises, and grammar instruction and practice.
