- Who is this book written for?
- Writing researchers, graduate students and teacher educators. It assumes familiarity with academic writing research and is not a practical classroom workbook.
- Is it still current?
- No. It reflects research up to about 2003, so later work on digital writing, genre pedagogy and assessment is missing. Use it for history and citations.
- Is it the same as the Handbook of Writing Research?
- No. It is a narrower edited collection in Kluwer's Studies in Writing series, not a broad handbook. The two overlap in topics but differ in scope and contributors.
- What edition and format should I expect?
- A 2004 paperback in English from Kluwer Academic Publishers. Check the seller's listing for whether it is the paperback or a library hardback reprint.
- Does it include practical lesson plans?
- Largely no. Chapters report research and theory; any teaching implications are discussed at a research level rather than as ready-made activities.
- Where is the Effective Learning And Teaching Of Writing (Paperback, 2004) cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $286.34, as of our latest check.
