| AbstractList | In a follow-up to their previous English Journal article, the authors report on focus-group discussions about writing in which college teachers from across the curriculum participated. Implications for the teaching of writing are described. Listen in as college teachers discuss their expectations for student writing and what that might mean for your students’ futures. [...] we hope that our focus-group comments help to broaden "writing pedagogy" discussion beyond English and English education teachers so that it includes teachers across disciplines. Because these teachers read different journals from the ones we read and are unlikely to attend our conferences, we offer as a starting point an innovative solution, especially to editors of NCTE and state affiliate journal or National Writing Project site communication outlets (e.g., websites, blogs, or wikis): Create a featured column about college writing. In the authors' January 2010 "English Journal" article, "Helping Students Cross the Threshold: Implications from a University Writing Assessment," they showcase results of a large-scale writing assessment conducted at Central Michigan University, arguing that some of these results are especially relevant to English teachers working with college-bound students and sharing classroom implications, such as writing assignments, textbook suggestions, and "writing principles." In this follow-up article, the authors report on focus-group discussions wherein faculty representing various disciplines, experience levels, and pedagogical views shared their views about college writing, including writing assignments, "good" writing, and pedagogical strategies--all topics English teachers routinely discuss in various professional settings, such as NCTE conferences, NWP institutes, and state workshops. Implications for the teaching of writing are described. |
