ABSTRACT

Developing Writing Skills in Spanish provides intermediate and advanced level students with the skills necessary to become competent and confident writers in the Spanish language.

Written completely in Spanish, this book focuses on writing as a craft, helping students to produce different types of texts. With the aid of examples, each chapter covers a specific kind of writing and offers sequenced exercises and activities on sentence structure, word choice, grammar, syntax and punctuation. Contrasting creative writing with analytical or discursive texts, the rich selection of samples featured in the book illustrates different themes, genres, styles, conventions and formats. It includes original material as well as fragments from newspapers, well-known literary works and essays by notable Hispanic authors and journalists.
