Sloan, Gary. “Frequency of Errors in Essays by College Freshmen and by Professional Writers.” CCC 41.3 (1990): 299-308.

Abstract:

This article systematically compares the errors in the writing of college freshman and of writing professionals using twenty essays written by first-year composition students and twenty short essays written by professional writers published in the course reader used by the students. The author’s analysis shows that professional writers commit stylistic errors (as defined by handbooks) almost as often as students. This article claims that the superiority of professional writing, compared to typically dry student prose, derives from a richer vocabulary, more intimate knowledge of subject matter, and passion for the topic. The author suggests that student writing can be improved by giving students more stylistic freedom and authentic assignments in which they choose topics, conduct research, and write to a specific audience.

Abstract:

This article analyzes a student’s interpretation of a contemporary poem and argues that the student’s unconventional reading is influenced by the student’s history. The student’s explanation of his interpretation of the poem leads the authors to suggest a pedagogy grounded in knowledge-making, especially for underprepared students who might not understand the standard conventions and assumptions of the academic community. This pedagogy emphasizes the importance of face-to-face, student-teacher discussions, even though this more transactive model of classroom discourse requires the teacher to defer to the student and give up some classroom control.

Abstract:

In this article, the author lays a foundation for a new, pluralistic theory of writing expertise by collapsing the binary that exists between the two existing and competing theories of writing expertise and instruction: cognitive rhetoric, which emphasizes general, universal knowledge, and social rhetoric, which stresses local knowledge in a particular discourse community. The pluralistic theory of expertise sees expertise as a continuum; it is not only sophisticated local knowledge that marks an expert, but also broad general knowledge that allows the expert to travel through different communities to accumulate additional local knowledge. The author gives suggestions for how to apply his pluralistic theory of expertise to the college writing classroom, including “cognitive apprenticeship,” putting students in authentic, local rhetorical situations, and through scaffolding writing assignments to show students how general good writing principles can be applied in many rhetorical situations.

Abstract:

This article argues that the impetus to teach technical logic in composition is misguided and mishandled in composition textbooks and suggests a better way to teach students how to create effective arguments would be to instruct them in modern informal logic or classical stasis theory. The article shows how composition’s treatment of logic, including instruction in induction, deduction, and fallacy theory, is incomplete and vague. The author goes on to critique the Toulmin model as the solution to teaching students how to structure an argument, but does point out that the model is useful as an invention heuristic. In his conclusion, the author endorses statis theory as a clear, systematic approach to teaching students how to write arguments.

Abstract:

The author, noting that feminist inquiry and composition have much in common but have yet to fully engage with other, calls for a feminist approach to composition studies, which would focus on questions of difference and dominance in written language. The article surveys recent feminist research on gender differences in social and psychological development and uses this research to illuminate a case study of four student narratives, two written by women and two by men. The author argues that these student texts suggest that men and women use language in different ways and argues that ignoring the innate differences between men and women can silence female students, as she claims that the field’s models of the composing process are better suited for men.

Abstract:

This article argues for the reversal of the grammatical rule that mandates singular agreement with indefinite pronouns by looking at the historical construction of the rule, its treatment in a variety of modern handbooks, and its current practical use. The author’s objective is to ease teachers’ instructional burden by adjusting practice to linguistic reality and to suggest the possibility of similarly challenging other rules of traditional grammar whose official sanction may be pragmatically or linguistically unwarranted.

Abstract:

The authors, who had studied the history of marking and classifying student writing errors, conducted a study of 3,000 teacher-marked papers of American college freshmen and sophomores to analyze and determine the most common patterns of student writing errors made in the 1980s and which formal and mechanical errors were marked most consistently by American teachers. After generating their own taxonomy of the twenty most common student errors, the authors used fifty raters to analyze the student papers. Their results included finding that college English teachers do not always agree on what is a serious writing error, that teachers mark only 43% of the most serious errors in the papers they grade, and that teachers are less likely to mark an error that requires extensive explanation. This study also debunks claims of educational decline, since the authors, comparing their findings to the results of past studies of student writing errors, found that students in the 1980s make approximately the same number of errors as students earlier in the century.

Abstract:

This article argues that paraphrasing is an important rhetorical activity; students who paraphrase well know how to interpret an original text and revise it to fit into a new rhetorical situation. The author suggests that instructors use Burke’s dramatistic framework to teach paraphrase, as the pentad terms help students analyze the original text and identify features to stress, reduce, and amplify in their paraphrase. Paraphrasing links reading and writing, and as the author argues, should be one of the central, recurring focuses of the college composition classroom. The article gives several examples and exercises that teachers can use to incorporate paraphrasing in their courses, including asking students to both compose their own paraphrases and to rhetorically analyze others’ paraphrases.

Abstract:

This article uses a study of readers trying to understand a complex college-level text through a think-aloud procedure to show how reading is both constructive and rhetorical. The study participants used the text along with their own personal perspective of the world, the issue, and the specific text discourse conventions to understand the meaning of the text. They noted that more experienced readers drew more on the wider rhetorical situation (the author’s purpose, context, and audience) to deconstruct the text, while freshman readers primarily focused on the specific content of the text. The authors argue that a constructive, rhetorical view of reading can transform pedagogical practices from teaching texts to teaching readers, with the teacher acting as a model co-reader to elicit varying responses to and interpretations of a piece instead of one correct answer.

Abstract:

This article argues that the extensive classification of the semantic relationship between sentences does not account for the relational ambiguity that necessarily exists between sentences. This is due to our understanding of meaning-making in discourse, which often leads us to make inferences when explicit transitional markers do not exist. The author, using the results of a class exercise he conducted with students, explores the causes of this ambiguity, which include looking at sentences in isolation as opposed to in a greater discourse framework, responding to a text in a more direct and unambiguous way than the author intends, and the reading in of external associations that vary from reader to reader. Regional ambiguity occurs because reading is anticipatory – the reader creates expectations of purpose and then only reads to confirm and impose that specific outlook. Because so much of the understanding of a text relies on this regional ambiguity, the author argues, most explicit transitional markers in sentences are unnecessary. The author concludes by stating that regional ambiguity necessitates a more complex understanding of meaning-making than elementary classifications of types of sentence coherence provide.

Abstract:

The authors, who note the increasing collaboration between university and secondary school writing teachers, argue that there needs to be more scholarly, analytical and critical attention given to this important emerging relationship. They present a history of the past difficult collaboration between school and college English teachers, and suggest that the problem stems from a culture clash: our society places school teachers and college teachers in separate cultures that have different publication venues and audiences, different incentive systems for collaboration, and different restraints on resources and time. The authors argue that a fruitful collaborative relationship between the two cultures has to happen through mutual praxis, or critical practice that continuously involves judgment and reflection, where both college and school teachers are involved in research, theory-making, and practice.

Abstract:

Irmscher argues that the reason composition as a field is undermined in the academy is because composition does not have research methods that accommodate the particular needs of research-teachers who are investigating the complex writing process. The empirical research methods used in the 1970s and early 1980s “complicated the familiar and obfuscated the obvious” by microanalyzing the composing process. Composition should borrow the insights of other disciplines, but it needs to create its own humanistic, dramatistic model of inquiry that takes into account the specific needs and values of the field. In his conclusion, Irmscher lists the criteria he believes should be at the forefront of scholarly inquiry in composition.

Abstract:

Hasimoto equates composition’s obsession with the concept of voice in writing with Christian evangelism. Using the descriptions of the writer’s voice by compositionists like Elbow and Murray, Hasimoto shows how the discipline favors writing that has “voice” – energy, emotion, power, individuality, and feeling – and demonizes “academic” writing. He argues that writing with a “voice” is not appropriate for all students and in all situations. Also, he points out that advocates for writing with a “voice” use anti-intellectual appeals that undermine the importance of teaching college composition.

Abstract:

Beach uses social cognitive development theories to understand the differences between the construction of the past and present selves in the autobiographical writing of adolescents and adults. He conducts a study of the autobiographical writing of seventh graders, college freshman, and English teachers. Based on the results of his study, Beach argues that teachers, when assessing autobiographical writing, need to recognize the wide gulf between their own and their students’ developmental perspectives and create prewriting exercises that help their students write more point-driven pieces that have a clearer distinction between past and present perspectives.

Roth, Robert G. “The Evolving Audience: Alternatives to Audience Accommodation.” CCC 38.1 (1987): 47-55.

Abstract:

In a study of three student writers’ composing processes, Roth investigates whether students determine their audience before they write or if they revise and invent their audience during the composing process. He finds that all three students use strategies to keep their audiences flexible and variable. Some of the strategies, which instructors could teach to their students, include considering opposing viewpoints, articulating arguments without being apologetic, and projecting the self as the audience. Teachers, Roth argues, should realize that audience definition is a creative process and not insist that their students define, analyze, and accommodate a particular audience at the beginning of a writing task because that can unnecessarily restrict the student writer.

Abstract:

Wolcott explains that there is a disconnect between the process model of writing instruction, which emphasizes invention and revision, and current standardized writing assessment tests, which only evaluate the product. Because students will face these kinds of tests both at the university and later in their careers, she argues that composition teachers must teach students how to tackle these types of writing situations. The tests shouldn’t dictate our composition classes, but we should show students how to adapt the process model of composing to timed, graded writing tasks.

Kemp, Fred. “The User-Friendly Fallacy.” CCC 38.1 (1987): 32-39.

Abstract:

Kemp argues for the development and use of open-response computer programs in writing instruction, arguing that the close-response programs in use at the time relegated the computer to remedial and fact-checking uses. He claims that the full potential of the computer in composition instruction can be realized when people challenge the “user-friendly fallacy,” the belief that computers should be able to interact with students’ ideas as a human does, replicating human cognition. Instead, Kemp argues that open-response programs, like Hugh Burnes’ TOPOI computer program, which assists students with invention by asking prompts and questions derived from uses Aristotle’s 28 enthymeme topics, are the most valuable type of program because they do not limit students’ response and guide them into making connections between their ideas.

Abstract:

Strong investigates the psycholinguistic connection between reading and writing and claims that when writers compose, they write and revise their texts as they alternate between being two different kinds of readers. First, there is the reader-at-work, the writer’s image of someone else who is primarily concerned with content and comprehension. Second, there is the reader-at-play, the writer’s own “best self” who desires innovation and creativity. Strong compares his reader schema to Bartholomae’s rhetorics of selection and combination. Both rhetorics serve their own purpose, one to divide and categorize information and the other to synthesize, and writers use both during the composing process.
