NEW DIRECTIONS: READING, WRITING, AND CRITICAL THINKING - IMPORTADO

New Directions is a thematic reading-writing book aimed at the most advanced learners. It prepares students for the rigors of college-level writing by having them read long, challenging, authentic readings, from a variety of genres, and by having them apply critical thinking skills as a precursor to writing. This emphasis on multiple longer readings gives New Directions its distinctive character. The second edition contains two entirely new chapters and many new readings and activities in the other three.
