Advanced ESL students may be exposed to a wide variety of real-world reading materials in English. This gives them access to more topics to write about. In addition, students are prepared to present practice and to justify their opinions about what they read. They are also able to describe the evidence and facts to support their ideas in writing. These skills are important in a wide range of activities, including essay writing and academic writing letters of complaint or opinion to companies or politicians.
