Working with Academic Literacies
The editors and contributors to this collection explore what it means to adopt an “academic literacies” approach in policy and pedagogy. Transformative practice is illustrated through case studies and critical commentaries from teacher-researchers working in a range of higher education contexts—from undergraduate to postgraduate levels, across disciplines, and spanning geopolitical regions including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cataluña, Finland, France, Ireland, Portugal, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Learning to Write Effectively: Current Trends in European Research
This book provides a detailed overview of current or recent research exploring a wide range of ideas, theories, and practices around written text production. European researchers from a broad range of disciplines brought together under the European Research Network on Learning to Write Effectively were instructed to contribute short papers summarising their current activity. The papers are grouped around the four main themes. The first deals with issues around the development of basic ("low-level") writing skills, mainly in the early years of education. The second section focuses directly on issues around the teaching and learning of writing. This is divided into five parts that describe: evaluations of different forms of writing instruction, research exploring the processes by which writers learn, methods of text assessment in educational contexts, research exploring the effects of various learner and teacher variables on the development of writing skill, and conceptions of and variation in educational text genres. The third section reports research exploring effective document design. The final section has a main focus on tools for exploring the writing process.
Traditions of Writing Research
Traditions of Writing Research reflects the different styles of work offered at the Writing Research Across Borders conference. Organized by Charles Bazerman, one of the pre-eminent scholars in writing studies, the conference facilitated an unprecedented gathering of writing researchers. Representing the best of the works presented, this collection focuses solely on writing research, in its lifespan scope bringing together writing researchers interested in early childhood through adult writing practices. It brings together differing research traditions, and offers a broad international scope, with contributor-presenters including top international researchers in the field The volume's openin...
University Writing
'University Writing' examines new trends in the different theoretical perspectives (cognitive, social and cultural) and derived practices in the activity of writing in higher education.
Originality, Imitation, and Plagiarism
"At long last, a discussion of plagiarism that doesn't stop at 'Don't do it or else,' but does full justice to the intellectual interest of the topic!" ---Gerald Graff, author of Clueless in Academe and 2008 President, Modern Language Association This collection is a timely intervention in national debates about what constitutes original or plagiarized writing in the digital age. Somewhat ironically, the Internet makes it both easier to copy and easier to detect copying. The essays in this volume explore the complex issues of originality, imitation, and plagiarism, particularly as they concern students, scholars, professional writers, and readers, while also addressing a range of related iss...
Les Concepts et les méthodes en didactique du français
Ce recueil examine les problématiques relatives à la construction des concepts et des méthodes en didactique du français, ancrées dans la tradition de la discipline et pertinentes pour l'avenir. Les contributions évoquent la perspective didactique, les configurations disciplinaires, la progression, le travail de l'enseignant, les notions telles que la posture, le rapport à l'écriture, etc.
Recherches, n° 63/2e semestre 2015
Enseigner et évaluer vont de pair pour l'enseignant. Mais ses pratiques en la matière sont doublement encadrées par l'institution : par les instruments d'évaluation nationaux et internationaux, mais aussi par les prescriptions en matière d'évaluation, associées aux nouveaux dispositifs et programmes. Cette double intervention laisse souvent l'enseignant déconcerté face à des tâches mal définies, comme l'évaluation des compétences. D'où le parti pris d'interroger les présupposés et enjeux de ces instruments et prescriptions, et de continuer de proposer des démarches qui rendent l'élève conscient de ses apprentissages.
Writing and Learning in Cross-national Perspective
Despite the increasingly global implications of conversations about writing and learning, U.S. composition studies has devoted little attention to cross-national perspectives on student writing and its roles in wider cultural contexts. Caught up in our own concerns about how U.S. students make the transition as writers from secondary school to postsecondary education, we often overlook the fact that students around the world are undergoing the same evolution. How do the students in China, England, France, Germany, Kenya, or South Africa--the educational systems represented in this collection--write their way into the communities of their chosen disciplines? How, for instance, do students who...
Traditions of Eloquence
This groundbreaking collection explores the important ways Jesuits have employed rhetoric, the ancient art of persuasion and the current art of communications, from the sixteenth century to the present. Much of the history of how Jesuit traditions contributed to the development of rhetorical theory and pedagogy has been lost, effaced, or dispersed. As a result, those interested in Jesuit education and higher education in the United States, as well as scholars and teachers of rhetoric, are often unaware of this living 450-year-old tradition. Written by highly regarded scholars of rhetoric, composition, education, philosophy, and history, many based at Jesuit colleges and universities, the ess...
Didactique de l'écrit : la construction des savoirs et le sujet-écrivant
C’est dans le champ de la didactique de l’écrit que s’inscrivent les travaux rassemblés dans ce volume. Analyser le processus d’enseignement/apprentissage de l’écriture est d’autant plus d’actualité que les attentes sociales auxquelles sont confrontés les enseignants sont de plus en plus fortes. En centrant la réflexion sur la nécessité d’articuler construction des savoirs et prise en compte du sujet-écrivant, les auteurs contribuent à éclairer les différentes dimensions de la compétence scripturale. Il s’agit aussi bien de mettre à plat les contraintes, les phénomènes régulés et les normes liés à l'écriture elle-même que d’analyser comment l'apprenant peut se les approprier en se constituant comme sujet-écrivant et comment l'enseignant, lui-même sujet-écrivant, les perçoit.
