Description

Proofreading is a difficult skill to teach. However, Last But Not Least can support educators in making the skill more accessible for advanced learners. There are chapters on punctuation and grammar, but Vermeer also includes numerous examples and tests (with answer keys) that educators could use to strengthen learners’ self-proofreading skills. Given the focus on nuanced elements of writing, this work would be best suited for learners working on fine-tuning their academic writing. However, some exercises could be included in earlier English language lessons to teach about the basics of punctuation, for example. Educators may find this work valuable for their own professional development to improve their proofreading methods and feedback skills.
