Lemley, Stephanie M.; Ivy, Jessica T.; Franz, Dana Pomykal; Oppenheimer, Seth F. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2019
Communicating mathematical ideas through writing, listening, and verbalizing allows students to think about how they "think" about mathematics. By focusing this communication on a reflection of how one thinks about mathematics, metacognitive writing engages students as mathematicians and learners. In this article we describe a…

Brenner, Devon; McQuirk, Ashley – New Educator, 2019
Schools are increasing the time students spend learning to write, in part because of changing state standards. Studies of classroom practice suggest that most teachers devote little time to the teaching of writing, and many teachers report they do not feel prepared to teach writing. Here, we examine the titles and descriptions of required literacy…

Soiferman, L. Karen – Online Submission, 2019
Teaching stand-alone grammar lessons is not as beneficial as instructors think if they want their students to learn how to write. If teachers truly want their students to become better at writing grammatically correct papers they will provide practice in writing, lots of practice. It is only through the practice of writing can students improve…

Mang'oka, Antony; Ogola, James; Bartoo, Phylis – Online Submission, 2019
Competence in both spoken and written English is very important for all learners regardless of their hearing ability. Previous studies reveal that hearing-impaired learners face several challenges in their written English. These challenges affect their communication, which is likely to affect their education and career aspirations. The thrust of…

Bruce Ballenger; Kelly Myers – College Composition and Communication, 2019
Forty years ago, Nancy Sommers identified dissonance and the ways in which writers respond to incongruities between "intention and execution" as a core competency of revision. While still a challenge for student writers, dissonance now takes different forms, particularly for advanced student writers who embrace theories of revision but…

T. Philip Nichols; Charlie McGeehan; Samuel Reed III – English Journal, 2019
Many students are experiencing precarity in the current political climate. School walls are permeable, and even the best efforts of teachers to create safe environments where young people can learn about and express themselves cannot fully insulate the classroom from the vulnerabilities produced outside of it. These vulnerabilities may inspire, in…

Bingham, Teri – Texas Association for Literacy Education Yearbook, 2017
Students often express frustrations and negative feelings about math (Ruffins, 2007). The purpose of this chapter was to describe several writing activities that can be used during math instruction to help students gain a greater understanding of mathematical concepts. By doing so, students will recognize how math is all around them, and they will…

Rodriguez, Regina Chanel; Rose, Shona; Coneway, Betty – English in Texas, 2017
As state and national curriculum standards continue to change, it is important for teachers to develop a common set of definitions for terms that appear in those standards. This column describes the four modes of discourse--narrative, descriptive, exposition, and persuasion--and links them to a variety of genres students can write in to compose…

Ward, Peter; Hill, Brian – Schole: A Journal of Leisure Studies and Recreation Education, 2017
College students desire a practitioner-focused education. Case teaching and writing provide more meaningful connections with practitioners and the "real" world than traditional lecture classes. Case teaching is a teaching approach using authentic, challenging, organizational scenarios with unstructured problems requiring students to…

In "Exploring the Dynamics of Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in Written Communication" (EJ1176701), Choe's preliminary case study explores an area of WTC that has not been fully addressed by WTC scholars: an analysis of WTC in written communication. When the concept of WTC was applied to the L2 context, a negative correlation between…

Don J. Kraemer – College Composition and Communication, 2017
Whereas composition studies tends to use ethics and morality interchangeably, these terms may work better when explicitly distinguished, rearticulated as a topic, and kept in heuristic conflict. The more the tension between them is exploited, the closer our approach to a pedagogy not so much ethical as just.
