Faqryza Ab Latif; Kristin Winet – Journal of Response to Writing, 2024
Although writing-across-the-curriculum (WAC) programs have been commonplace since the 1970s, the focus has largely been on the level of assessment and programmatic development and less on the instructors, particularly graduate teaching assistants (TAs), who adopt these practices. In this article, we describe a pilot WAC graduate-level course in…

Short, Verity – Teachers and Curriculum, 2022
Teaching writing is complex, and a number of ideas circulating among schools and teachers often belie the difficulty of how to teach the techniques and processes of writing. I've come to believe that authorship is not a passive undertaking and does not originate in the struggle to put something onto the page. Rather it emerges by living with a…

Lane, Suzanne; Banuazizi, Atissa; Effron, Malcah; Roldan, Leslie; Ruff, Susan; Stickgold-Sarah, Jessie; Trice, Michael; Karatsolis, Andreas – Across the Disciplines, 2022
Studies have shown that students learning to write in engineering fields struggle to integrate subject matter and communication expertise, and that STEM faculty's communication knowledge often remains tacit, rather than being explicitly taught to students. Here we show a method for eliciting and revealing tacit communication knowledge using what…

This article will discuss ways to use self-regulated strategy development for argumentative writing across content areas.

Michal Horton – Composition Forum, 2024
The theme course has not held a distinct place in scholarship, despite being a longstanding practice in the field; meanwhile, it has come under scrutiny in teaching for transfer (TFT) scholarship, which perceives the practice as conflicting with writing-centered approaches. In contrast, scholarship on theme courses suggests that a resilient motive…
