This volume was conceived as a "best practices" resource for
writing teachers in the way that "Vocabulary Myths" by Keith S.
Folse is one for reading and vocabulary teachers. It was written to
help ensure that writing teachers are not perpetuating the myths of
teaching writing. Each author is a practicing teacher who selected
his or her "myth" based on classroom experience and expertise. Both
the research and pedagogy in this book are based on the newest
research in, for example, teacher preparation, EAP and ESP, and
corpus linguistics. The myths discussed in this book are: Teaching
vocabulary is not the writing teacher's job. (Keith S. Folse)
Teaching citation is someone else's job. (Cynthia M. Schuemann)
Where grammar is concerned, one size fits all. (Pat Byrd and John
Bunting) Academic writing should be assertive and certain. (Ken
Hyland) Students must learn to correct all their writing errors.
(Dana Ferris) Corpus-based research is too complicated to be useful
for writing teachers. (Susan Conrad) Academic writing courses
should focus on paragraph and essay development. (Sharon Cavausgil)
International and U.S. resident ESL writers cannot be taught in the
same class. (Paul Kei Matsuda) The book concludes with a discussion
of students' myths about academic writing and teaching written by
Joy Reid.
