Description - Second Language Writing (Cambridge Applied Linguistics) by Barbara Kroll

The teaching of writing has become an area of increased interest and importance for teachers of second and foreign languages as well as for educational researchers. This comprehensive collection covers the major issues writing teachers face in setting agendas for teaching writing to nonnative speakers. The thirteen original articles, written by recognized scholars in the field, present original research studies, both qualitative and quantitative, and practical applications for the classroom teacher. The topics covered include the composing process of second language writers, variables in second language writing performance, teacher response to student writing and student processing of feedback, writing assessment, and the reading/writing connection. This book further provides a historical view of the evolution in approaches to the teaching of second language writing and a coherent view of current approaches and issues.
