More About the Author
Ann Raimes was born and educated in England and the U.S. (University of London, Oxford University, and Cornell). A few years ago, she retired from full-time teaching at Hunter College, where she was a professor of English for thirty-two years. With its 21,000 ethnically diverse students, many of whom are immigrants or born to immigrant families, Hunter is known as "an urban leader in educating a diverse student body." In addition to teaching undergraduate composition courses, ESL writing courses, and graduate courses in rhetoric and composition, Ann was in charge of the Developmental English Program (1,500 students) for ten years and directed the first-year composition course (75+ sections), working with a colleague to establish and direct a still-thriving writing center. She also was a member of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on the College Preparatory Initiative and served as one of the first Chairs of the CUNY ESL Council, Chair of the TESOL Publications Committee, and Chair of the CUNY ESL Task Force. Ann has also published many research and theoretical articles and has been a frequent presenter at conferences. Her articles have appeared in TESOL Quarterly, Language Learning, College English, College ESL, and other journals and anthologies. She is also the author of ten textbooks (writing, ESL, and grammar), many in several editions.

Thanks, Ann!,

This review is from: Grammar Troublespots: A Guide for Student Writers (Paperback)
I have taught ESL, foreign languages, writing and study skills for 30+ years. Never before encountered such a clear, concise handbook for all-purpose use. EVERYONE could benefit from a having a copy of this book on their desks!
Most recently, I chose it as a quick review of basics for a group of foreign military officers writing research papers. They loved its easy access. NOW, my 17 year-old son is using it for a quick reference while writing his college application essays.

I got this book because I needed it for my adv english class.
It covers almost every trick there is and it has great examples as well. I'd recommend as a support book for writers with some knowledge of the language.
