New Directions Second edition is a thematic reading and writing-skills text for advanced learners that bridges the gap between ESL and college writing courses.
New Directions is a thematic reading/writing book aimed at the most advanced learners.

This emphasis on multiple longer readings as a precursor to writing gives New Directions its distinctive character. The book also contains a handbook reference section on the essentials of writing.
