In this book, the author explores the teaching of writing within
first-year learning communities through a dynamic discussion of
learning community history, post-process writing theory, and the
central tenet that context matters for effective writing
instruction. Illustrating the importance of contextuality in the
teaching of writing, a detailed examination of a learning community
programme at a large state university if provided. In a series of
surveys, interviews, and document sharing, student and faculty
participants explain how writing instruction operates within and
against structural collaboration and integration. The perspectives
of the participants highlight the complexities, constraints, and
dilemmas that both guide and impede the benefits of the learning
community experience, and lead to recommendations for the
development or improvement of writing instruction in learning
communities and elsewhere. Most importantly, the book confirms the
positive elements of teaching writing in learning community
programmes while reminding scholars, teachers, and administrators
of the necessity of difficult interdisciplinary work-especially how
the best ideas and institutions result for a situated and
contextual negotiation of disparate perspectives.
