Based on the philosophy that writing should be taught in conjunction with social and cultural expectations, this title teaches a variety of writing strategies, such as self-editing and portfolio writing, and provides practical advice on assessing writing and providing constructive feedback to learners.
This book gives accounts from the teachers who have taught ESL writing at the high school and college level. Since the book is getting rather old, it does not cover practices of genre-based approaches, and mainly discusses and suggests ideas of process-based approaches.
