ISBN: 9780867093469 - taking stock: the writing process movement in the '90s (4 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: Good. Until the late 1960s, English departments were almost exclusively literature departments. The teaching of writing was seen only as an apprenticeship for graduate students and part-timers who hoped to move on soon to more gratifying work, and most students' writing process consisted of procrastinate, write, hand in, hope for the best. Taking Stock examines how all of this changed. Advocates of the writing process movement offered a new vision of composition teaching and research. More than twenty-five years after the appearance of their radically new ideas, Taking Stock reassesses the ways that the writing process has been taught, institutionalized, researched, and theorized. A collection of articles drawn from the University of New Hampshire's historic 1992 conference on the writing process movement, Taking Stock presents some of the major figures -- such as Britton, Elbow, Macrorie, Moffett, and Murray -- who reflect on their early contributions in light of developments.
