Language teaching theory & methods; Writing skills

This popular, comprehensive theory-to-practice text helps teachers understand the task of writing, L2 writers, the different pedagogical models used in current composition teaching, and reading-writing connections. Moving from general themes to specific pedagogical concerns, it includes practice-oriented chapters on the role of genre, task construction, course and lesson design, writing assessment, feedback, error treatment, and classroom language (grammar, vocabulary, style) instruction.

Each chapter includes Questions for Reflection, Further Reading and Resources, Reflection and Review, and Application Activities. An ideal text for L2 teacher preparation courses and in-service writing instructors, the text offers an accessible synthesis of theory and research that enables readers to see the relevance of the field’s knowledge base to their own present or future classroom settings and student writers.

New to the Fourth Edition:

Updated with new research, theory, and developments in the field throughout the text

Visually accessible layout and design for improved reader navigability

Expanded attention to technological affordances for writing pedagogy

Stand-alone reference list in each chapter
