Writing in English for Internationalized Higher Education : Pedagogies and Practices for Linguistically Diverse Student Populations

Omtale

Drawing on the tenets of intercultural rhetoric, this book is a user-friendly resource that prepares teachers for the contemporary composition classroom to meet the needs of linguistically, culturally, geographically and educationally diverse students. Pelaez-Morales and McIntosh acknowledge how writing must be understood in context and address practical ways to support nonnative and native writers of English. Chapters cover rhetorical strategies, genre, assessment, feedback. Drawing from a number of theoretical frameworks including L2 writing, translingualism, and World Englishes, the practical, classroom-based suggestions will prepare all preservice teachers to work in internationalized contexts and accommodate a range of knowledge and skill levels.
