This book undertakes a general framework within which to consider
the complex nature of the writing task in English, both as a first,
and as a second language. The volume explores varieties of writing,
different purposes for learning to write extended text, and
cross-cultural variation among second-language writers. The volume
overviews textlinguistic research, explores process approaches to
writing, discusses writing for professional purposes, and
contrastive rhetoric. It proposes a model for text construction as
well as a framework for a more general theory of writing. Later
chapters, organised around seventy-five themes for writing
instruction are devoted to the teaching of writing at the
beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Writing assessment
and other means for responding to writing are also discussed.
William Grabe and Robert Kaplan summarise various theoretical
strands that have been recently explored by applied linguists and
other writing researchers, and draw these strands together into a
coherent overview of the nature of written text. Finally they
suggest methods for the teaching of writing consistent with the
nature, processes and social context of writing.
