Cohesive Argumentative Writing

Through Controlled, Guided, and Free Writing Activities

Writing is probably the most critical and challenging of the four language skills, even for native speakers of a language. Finding ways of helping language learners improve their writing ability, therefore, has always been a challenge for language teachers and researchers. Several attempts have already been made and a few techniques and activities have been proposed including controlled, guided, and free writing activities. This book compares the effectiveness of these activities on the cohesiveness of the argumentative writing of learners in an EFL context. It includes a theoretical review and an empirical analysis of the issue. This book may be useful for EFL learners as well as teachers who teach writing.

The "improper" Feminine

The Women's Sensation Novel and the New Woman Writing

The women's sensation novel of the 1860s and the New Woman fiction of the 1890s were two major examples of a perceived feminine invasion of fiction which caused a critical furore in their day. Both genres, with their shocking, `fast' heroines, fired the popular imagination by putting female sexuality on the literary agenda and undermining the `proper feminine' ideal to which nineteenth-century women and fictional heroines were supposed to aspire. By exploring in impressive depth and breadth the material and discursive conditions in which these novels were produced, The `Improper' Feminine draws attention to key gendered interrelationships within the literary and wider cultures of the mid-Victorian and fin-de-diècle periods.

By exploring the improper feminine and the material and discursive conditions in which the women's sensation novel and the new woman fiction were produced, Lyn Pykett investigates the nature of this irruption of the feminine.

Allegories of Violence

Tracing the Writing of War in Late Twentieth-century Fiction

Allegories of Violence demilitarizes the concept of war and asks what would happen if we understood war as discursive via late 20th-century novels of war. Yuknavitch re-introduces war into discussion concerning changes in our social life, and their relation to representation. In particular she seeks to revise our understanding of war, postmodernism and the novel by asking how they form, deform and reform one another. Allegories of Violence attempts to build new forms of reading that might help us recognize the changing forms of war.

Essays toward a Hopeful Theory of Writing and Teaching Writing

With Writing without Teachers (OUP 1975) and Writing with Power (OUP 1995) Peter Elbow revolutionized the teaching of writing. His process method--and its now commonplace "free writing" techniques--liberated generations of students and teachers from the emphasis on formal principles of grammar that had dominated composition pedagogy. This new collection of essays brings together the best of Elbow's writing since the publication of Embracing Contraries in 1987. The volume includes sections on voice, the experience of writing, teaching, and evaluation. Implicit throughout is Elbow's commitment to humanizing the profession, and his continued emphasis on the importance of binary thinking and nonadversarial argument. The result is a compendium of a master teacher's thought on the relation between good pedagogy and good writing; it is sure to be of interest to all professional teachers of writing, and will be a valuable book for use in composition courses at all levels.

In short, teachers are beginning to make more nuanced judgments than they
used to make about which students to send to the Writing Studio. ... Members of
the writing program no longer view the world of students so much through the
lens of basic/nonbasic; they do not so ... New York University has long had a
onecredit tutorial that students could take as a supplement to the introductory
writing course.
