Beason and Lester present a textbook and reference on the sentence-level grammar and usage of formal English for students in beginning writing course, English as a second language courses, first-year composition courses, or a courses on writing in a particular discipline such as business or science. The core of their approach is that errors can be signs of risk taking, experimentation, and growth and that students need to understand that errors are part of the learning process in order to gain confidence in their writing.
