Student Writing by Theresa M Lillis
Lillis' reflective study of academic writing practices challenges current discourse on writing as 'skill'. Containing detailed studies, as well as theory and analysis from the UK and US, the book has a strong international focus.'Despite the seemingly ever-increasing concern with widening participation to higher education and extending opportunities to older adults, it is surprising how little impact the work on academic literacies has hadIf there is a text that can help redress that balance and encourage a wider debate, then this is it.' - Richard Edwards, Studies in the Education of Adults, Vol. 33 (2) 2001
'Lillis' work makes a valuable contribution to a process of re-evaluation which is long overdue.' - Elaine Millard, Teaching in Higher Education
