Analysis and Argument in First-Year Writing and Beyond by Silvia Pessoa

Analysis and Argument in First-Year Writing and Beyond by Silvia Pessoa

Developing a language for students and teachers to discuss good writing

“Rooted in a strong theoretical foundation and supported by over a decade of classroom research, the authors have created an invaluable resourceEach chapter not only explains but also exemplifies how the SFL-genre based toolkits can be effectively employed. Readers will gain insights into why, how, and when to use these powerful tools, making this resource both practical and enlightening.”

-- Sandra Zappa-Hollman, University of British Columbia

“Pessoa, Mitchell, and Gómez-Laich have given us an incredibly rich resource that integrates current research on argument for teaching not only multilingual students but any student looking for a framework to demystify academic analysis and argument. Students often struggle with task expectations in college writing as well as teacher feedback about those expectations. This book can equip instructors to concretize some of our abstractions and to prioritize writing structures that carry beyond first-year writing toward discipline-specific communication. Through their own teaching practices and their long, careful study of student writing at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, the authors give us a thoughtful approach that will engage research and teaching across fields of applied linguistics, second language writing, composition studies, and rhetoric.”

-- Danielle Zawodny Wetzel, Carnegie Mellon University
