This book offers a much needed alternative to the more traditional
texts used to teach writing instruction. Grounded in history, the
book clarifies changing theoretical and practical approaches to
teaching writing and critically assessing each approach in relation
to the social and political movements of the day, both within and
beyond the university. The author takes us inside the real world of
writing instruction; not only from the viewpoint of the instructor,
but as seen through the eyes of students struggling to make sense
of the expectations of writing class. Mitchell emphasizes that
'writing' entails far more than putting words to paper, and delves
into contextually variable culturally defined expectations, that
include multiple linguistic forms-both oral and
written-highlighting the complexity of writing(s), while engaging
the reader in lively academic debates about language and society.
