The Fourth Edition includes new chapters on language awareness, reflecting, and writing for a public audience—plus new advice on remixing across genres and media. And it’s all presented in a clear, accessible format and style that 96% of surveyed students agreed is easy to use and has improved their writing.
Students will see themselves in the new edition and read about issues they can relate to—such as a TikTok campaign by Cape Fear students debunking myths about community college, a student’s literacy narrative about learning English, a report on the effects of digital beauty filters, and more.
New animated videos and “Reflect & Write” prompts are embedded directly in the ebook to engage students’ active reading skills—reinforced by adaptive practice available in accompanying InQuizitive activities.

“As someone who comes from an immigrant family, I found this chapter [“Language, Power, and Rhetoric”] to be resourceful and soul-touching especially on the topic of language barriers… This needs to be taught for if it isn’t, there will never be improvement or growth. We are the future. Teach us.”
—Isabella Hipp, student at Belmont University
“Its approach isn't condescending, and it really respects students’ voices while giving them clear descriptions and exercises for developing the exact skills our course is designed to teach.”
—Sarita Mizin, instructor at University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire
“Few other textbooks have such a thoughtful and smart focus on rhetoric.”
—Lynn Lewis, instructor at Oklahoma State University
