Cambridge Applied Linguistics

This comprehensive collection of thirteen original articles covers the major issues writing teachers face. It systematically sets out the key issues in second language writing instruction to offer both pre-service and in-service teachers a guide to writing instruction grounded in current theory and research. The book includes chapters on approaches to teaching writing, needs analysis, syllabus design, lesson planning, task design, materials development, and feedback and assessment, and on using technology in writing classes and in conducting research. There are review exercises, reflection questions, and copious examples to make the book extremely useful to prospective and practicing teachers alike.

I guess the scholarship in this book is outdated by modern academic standards (17 years old), but it's solid. The Cambridge Applied Linguistics Series is always reliable.
