B2 Ready: Academic Writing uses the StudyDo design.
Each lesson begins with a Study section where learners read correct authentic language they can understand. Each Study section is followed by a Do section where learners apply information from the reading or express their own ideas.
All StudyDo books are designed to be easy to teach – to require no additional materials or preparation, to be simple for even new or inexperienced teachers to follow, and to be inexpensive to print on regular A4-size paper, so students can have copies to write on.
Is B2 Ready: Academic Writing right for your students?
If your students can read and understand text at high B1 level, they have enough language to benefit from B2 Ready and B2 Ready: Academic Writing.
There are many resources that help students learn academic writing, but they assume that students have some experience with this kind of writing and have certain fundamental skills. If your students have little experience with academic writing, they may not have enough fundamental knowledge to take advantage of those other resources. B2 Ready: Academic Writing can help them bridge that gap, so they can better understand more advanced lessons from other sources.
If your students still need to build vocabulary and reading skills before using B2 Ready: Academic Writing, the original B2 Ready introduces more fundamental concepts in writing and offers more level appropriate reading to build vocabulary to the B2 Level.
Younger students and students below B1 level will benefit most from using the StudyDo Bridges books to build vocabulary, reading, speaking, writing skills before moving into university level writing concepts.
