This guide for pre- and in-service teachers can be used as a primary or supplementary text for a course on L2 (second language) writing theory, as well as a practicum course that emphasizes
literacy instruction. It explains theories, empirical research, and pedagogical models for teaching L2 and presents practical examples and materials. Technology issues are integrated
throughout. Application activities for the classroom involve working with teachers and students. This third edition contains new chapters on student populations and developing language skills
in the writing class. This edition is streamlined, with single chapters on course and lesson design, and teacher and peer feedback. Also new are chapter resource lists. Ferris teaches writing
at the University of California-Davis. Hedgcock teaches applied linguistics at Monterey Institute of International Studies. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
