What Happens When Basic Writers Come to College?

Bizzell, Patricia

College Composition and Communication, v37 n3 p294-301 Oct 1986

Explores three current approaches to describing what happens to basic writers when they enter college. Seeks a more comprehensive approach that takes into account the differences in dialect, discourse conventions, and ways of thinking, through the notion of a language community, and W. Perry's developmental model. (HTH)
