From the Back Cover
The Eye on Editing series is designed for writers who have achieved a certain fluency in English, yet are often unable to identify and correct common grammatical inaccuracies in their work.
As a main text, a supplement to writing and grammar classes, or as a reference guide, Eye on Editing provides explanations and practice for the most frequent errors in intermediate and high-intermediate student writing.
Students develop solid editing skills as they work through a diagnostic pretest, grammar explanations with easy-to-read charts, a progression of increasingly challenging editing exercises, and guided writing tasks on topics of current interest. The final chapter¿s editing exercises require students to integrate all the skills they have learned.
The Eye on Editing series includes Eye on Editing 1 for intermediate students and Eye on Editing 2 for high-intermediate students.

Not a bad book for its size,
By
This review is from: Eye on Editing (Book 2, High-Intermediate) (Paperback)
I've been happy to teach ESL students from these books (Eye on Editing 1 and 2) for the past several years. My one complaint is that my students need more practice than the Self Check and Editing Practice sections contain.
Though I try to incorporate student writing into the editing exercises, I often find myself spending a lot of time modifying student writing so that it can be used for the target forms--since student writing rarely has only one type of error. For the next edition, it would be nice if the cross reference in the back could be updated for the newer editions of the referenced texts; trying to find the "Focus on Grammar High Intermediate Second Edition" wasn't bad, but the authors have changed to a numbered series. All told, it's a nice book to work on during an 8-week session, but the inclusion of more focused exercises would be nice--even if they were only online.

Good editing guide,

This review is from: Eye on Editing 1: Developing Editing Skills for Writing (Student Book) (Book 1) (Paperback)
This is a good, simple to use, book on editing. I am appalled at the language and grammar skills of our students and feel this book should be mandatory!
