Much of what is known about teaching second language writing today
has been based on research in English as a second language, writing
in English in English-dominant countries and other contexts,
without giving close consideration to the important work of
teaching foreign language writing in many languages and contexts
around the world. FOREIGN LANGUAGE WRITING INSTRUCTION: PRINCIPLES
AND PRACTICES takes a significant step in addressing this imbalance
by examining many of the topics that influence foreign language
teaching. Fourteen chapters researched and authored by scholars
working in nine different countries and regions explore the
contexts of foreign language writing pedagogy, the diversity of
national and regional approaches, the role of universities,
departments, and programs in pedagogy, and the cognitive and
classroom dimensions of teaching and learning. This volume provides
a cross-section of the current status of foreign language writing
instruction, while developing a fuller appreciation for the
broadened perspectives that it can bring to second language
writing. Both teachers and researchers in foreign language writing
will benefit greatly from this collection. - SECOND LANGUAGE
