An increasing number of students graduate from U.S. high schools and enter college while still in the process of learning English. This group--the "1.5 generation"--consisting of immigrants and U.S. residents born abroad as well as indigenous language minority groups, is rapidly becoming a major constituency in college writing programs. These students defy the existing categories in most college writing programs, and in the research literature. Experienced in American culture and schooling, they have characteristics and needs distinct from the international students who have been the subject of most research and literature on ESL writing. Furthermore, in studies of mainstream college composition, basic writing, and diversity, these students' status as second-language learners is usually left unaddressed or even misconstrued as underpreparation. Nevertheless, research and pedagogical writings have yet to take up the particular issues entailed in teaching composition to this student population. The intent in this volume is to bridge this gap and to initiate a dialogue on the linguistic, cultural, and ethical issues that attend teaching college writing to U.S.-educated linguistically diverse students. This book is the first to address explicitly issues in the instruction of "1.5 generation" college writers. From urban New York City to midwestern land grant universities to the Pacific Rim, experienced educators and researchers discuss a variety of contexts, populations, programs, and perspectives. The 12 chapters in this collection, authored by prominent authorities in non-native language writing, are research based and conceptual, providing a research-based survey of who the students are, their backgrounds and needs, and how they are placed and instructed in a variety of settings. The authors frame issues, raise questions, and provide portraits of language minority students and the classrooms and programs that serve them. Together, the pieces paint the landscape of college writing instruction for 1.5 generation students and explore the issues faced by ESL and college writing programs in providing appropriate writing instruction to second-language learners arriving from U.S. high schools. This book serves not only to articulate an issue and set an agenda for further research and discussion, but also to suggest paths toward linguistic and cultural sensitivity in any writing classroom. It is thought-provoking reading for college administrators, writing teachers, and scholars and students of first- and second-language composition.

Intended for the growing number of composition faculty members involved in training graduate teaching assistants (TAs) and adjunct faculty to teach, as well as new teachers, this book presents essays addressing how best to prepare new teachers to teach writing, and what advice to offer new teachers about particular aspects of teaching writing. Also of value for faculty already engaged in teaching writing, many of the book's essays include substantial bibliographies, and all the essays outline successful strategies of the writing teacher. The essays and their authors are as follows: (1) "Unifying Diversity in the Training of Writing Teachers" (Richard C. Gebhardt); (2) "The Basics and the New Teacher in the College Composition Class" (Charles W. Bridges); (3) "TA Training: A Period of Discovery" (William F. Irmscher); (4) "Linking Pedagogy to Purpose for Teaching Assistants in Basic Writing" (Richard P. VanDeWeghe); (5) "The Teaching Seminar: Writing Isn't Just Rhetoric" (Nancy R. Comley); (6) "Fear and Loathing in the Classroom: Teaching Technical Writing for the First Time" (Don R. Cox); (7) "The Literature Major as Teacher of Technical Writing" (O. Jane Allen); (8) "The Great Commandment" (John J. Ruszkiewicz); (9) "Writing Right Off: Strategies for Invention" (Mary Jane Schenck); (10) "Planning for Spontaneity in the Writing Classroom and a Passel of Other Paradoxes" (Ronald F. Lunsford); (11) "Making Assignments, Judging Writing, and Annotating Papers: Some Suggestions" (Richard L. Larson); (12) "On Not Being a Composition Slave" (Maxine Hairston); (13)"Portfolio Evaluation: Room to Breathe and Grow" (Christopher C. Burnham); and (14) "How TAs Teach Themselves" (Timothy R. Donovan, Patricia Sprouse, and Patricia Williams). (HTH)

div Composition research consistently demonstrates that the social context of writing determines the majority of conventions any writer must observe. Still, most universities organize the required first-year composition course as if there were an intuitive set of general writing "skills" usable across academic and work-world settings. In College Writing and Beyond: A New Framework for University Writing Instruction, Anne Beaufort reports on a longitudinal study comparing one student’s experience in FYC, in history, in engineering,;

"First time up?"—an insider’s friendly question from 1960s counter-culture—perfectly captures the spirit of this book. A short, supportive, practical guide for the first-time college composition instructor, the book is upbeat, wise but friendly, casual but knowledgeable (like the voice that may have introduced you to certain other firsts). With an experiential focus rather than a theoretical one, First Time Up will be a strong addition to the newcomer’s professional library, and a great candidate for the TA practicum reading list. Dethier, author of The Composition Instructor’s Survival Guide and From Dylan to Donne, directly addresses the common headaches, nightmares, and epiphanies of composition teaching—especially the ones that face the new teacher. And since legions of new college composition teachers are either graduate instructors (TAs) or adjuncts without a formal background in composition studies, he assumes these folks as his primary audience. Dethier’s voice is casual, but it conveys concern, humor, experience, and reassurance to the first-timer. He addresses all major areas that graduate instructors or new adjuncts in a writing program are sure to face, from career anxiety to thoughts on grading and keeping good classroom records. Dethier’s own eclecticism is well-represented here, but he reviews with considerable deftness the value of contemporary scholarship to first-time writing instructors—many of whom will be impatient with high theory. Throughout the work, he affirms a humane, confident approach to teaching, along with a true affection for college students and for teachers just learning to deal with them.

COLLEGE ENGLISH: COMPOSITION is a guide for those who must take a college composition class—and everyone else interested in the ability to write at a college level. In contrast with other books on the subject, it emphasizes thinking and reading skills over rhetorical and stylistic formulas and rules, and boils these down to the very basics. There are no lists and tables of things to memorize, no jargon, no Greek and Latin. Instead this book offers the essentials, spelled out in the clearest way possible, and illustrated with suitable examples, with the whole organized around easy-to-peruse questions and answers like "What is a Thesis?"—the very questions students, and everyone else, need answered if they are to succeed.
