Sumario: | "Controversies in Second Language Writing will help L2 writing teachers to make good decisions through a deeper understanding of some of the key issues and conflicting opinions about L2 writing research and pedagogy. Christine Pearson Casanave breaks down each current debate facing today's writing teachers, presenting each issue by describing the conflicting prevailing opinions and then explaining how research and pedagogy can help teachers decide for themselves what to do in their classrooms." "This volume addresses such complex issues as contrastive rhetoric, best practices in assessment of student writing, plagiarism, politics, and ideology. Controversies will give teachers cause for reflecting on their own teaching strategies and criteria."--Jacket
