About the Book

Classrooms filled with glassy-eyed students provide an experiential base for Alice S. Horning's new com­prehensive theory about basic writers. Horning explores the theory of writing acquisi­tion in detail. Her examination of spoken and writ­ten language and redundancy give a theoretical base to her argument that academic discourse is a sepa­rate linguistic system characterized by particular psycholinguistic features. She proposes that basic writ­ers learn to write as other learners master a second language because for them, academic written Eng­lish is a whole new language. She explores the many connections to be found in second language acquisition research to the teaching and learning of writing and gives special attention to the interlanguage hypothesis, pidginization theory, and the Monitor theory. She also addresses the role of affective factors (feelings, attitudes, emotions, and motivation) in the success or failure of writing students.

About the Author :
Alice S. Horning teaches Rhetoric and Linguis­tics at Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan.

Review :
"By its arrangement and its contents, this collection of essays performs at least two important functions for teachers of writing: it demonstrates that the work of our recent past is still valuable, and it contributes to the efforts of recent years to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Such a new vision of our history and a new level of understanding between practitioners and theorists could provide the foundation for a more productive, enlightened disciplinary future."--Gary Tate, from the Foreword "The primary contribution of "Teaching Writing: Landmarks and Horizons "is to bring together the generations. Moreover, while the discipline seems to be entering into a period of greater attention to pedagogy, part two of this timely collection of stellar contributors and landmark essays brings a new understanding between theory and practice."--Pat Belanoff, coeditor of "Nothing Begins with "N" New Investigations of Freewriting"
