Full Description
A Design Orientation to Second Language Writing Instruction presents the principles of a Design orientation to second language writing and argues for new directions in second language writing instruction.
This book elaborates an approach to L2 writing instruction relevant for the diverse multilingual educational contexts and ever-changing literacies of the 21st century. A comprehensive introductory chapter which synthesizes recent history and current challenges in writing instruction for languages other than English is followed by chapters that link theory and practice, articulate principles of Design writing, and provide practical guidance for how instructors can implement Design writing instruction in ways that increase the relevance and value of writing for today's diverse learners.
As well as being a valuable resource for researchers of second language acquisition and second language instructors at all levels of instruction, A Design Orientation to Second Language Writing Instruction will also appeal to teacher educators and graduate students.
