A Sourcebook for Basic Writing Teachers

Rather than offering another “answer” to our country’s latest “literary crisis,” the distinguished contributors to this volume define, analyze and evaluate both long-standing and current issues of basic writing. Informed by recent research, theory and practice, and built on the pioneering work of Mina Shaughnessy, this volume promises to become a standard resource for basic writing teachers. An up-to-date, comprehensive bibliography is included.
