"An inspiring book for scholars, instructors, administrators, and students from diverse linguistic backgrounds. This book may help them become more receptive to an appreciation of the diverse linguistic resources and cultural groups"

 

Featuring the voices of 22 linguistically and geographically diverse authors from a variety of institutional contexts throughout the United States, this edited collection calls attention to the experiences of an important and growing group of writing instructors: those who have learned English as an additional language. Focusing on this critical part of the growing linguistic and cultural diversity of writing programs and classrooms, the contributors to his collection deepen our understanding of an important but relatively unexamined aspect of U.S. writing instruction. By exploring ways that writing programs can build on the strengths that multilingual students and teachers bring to the classroom, this collection offers promising strategies for creating more inclusive writing programs.

This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.
