English Writing Development: 4MAT Learning Style and Thinking Visualization Strategies is designed as an introductory course in English writing for students, teachers and all those who consider writing is important and fun. It is based on the author’s own experience of teaching English writing to undergraduates who major in English, and training students to participate in provincial and national English writing contests. Instead of showing the skeleton of writing to readers directly, the author integrates the 4MAT Process Approach that she has developed on the basis of the 4MAT learning style and the Process Approach into the design of the book, aiming to increase learners’ motivation by answering why they should learn, what they should learn, how they should apply what they have learnt and what if the situation changes in each chapter. With corpora, news and students’ work as resources to collect sample sentences, paragraphs and essays, the author elaborates eight main aspects which are writing process, writing a paragraph, writing an essay, methods of paragraph development, types of clause, types of sentence, rhetorical devices, paraphrase and summary. English Writing Development: 4MAT Learning Style and Thinking Visualization Strategies is not only the ideal English writing textbook for students at different levels but also functions equally well as a self-tutoring textbook. The simple reader-friendly explanations coupled with interesting and meaningful examples, figures, tables and the checklists are of great help for the learners to make progress on their own. Armed with the strategies elaborated in the book, learners most probably will find that WRITING IS FUN!
