Yang, Yu-Fen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
As students' problem-solving processes in writing are rarely observed in face-to-face instruction, they have few opportunities to participate collaboratively in peer review to improve their texts.

Pearson, Nancy Guillot – English Journal, 2011

Artman, Margaret; Frisicaro-Pawlowski, Erica; Monge, Robert – Composition Studies, 2010
While composition programs are frequently responsible for teaching basic research writing, it is still common practice to limit lessons in information literacy to "one-shot" library instruction sessions. This practice reinforces the perception that the research process is separate from (and simpler than) the writing process, that teaching students…

Yancey, Kathleen Blake – National Council of Teachers of English, 2009
Historically, writes the author, humans have experienced an impulse to write; have found the materials to write; have endured the labor of composition; have understood that writing offers new possibility and a unique agency, in spite of cultures that devalued writing, that at times prohibited writing by those who may have been female or of color,…
