Academic Discourse and Critical Consciousness

"Academic Discourse and Critical Consciousnes "traces the attempts of one writing teacher to understand theoretically - and to respond pedagogically - to what happens when students from diverse backgrounds learn to use language in college. Critical of even her own previous work, Patricia Bizzell presents a picture of how she has grappled with major issues in composition studies over the past decade and offers suggestions for the development of composition studies as an academic discipline.

Riassunto

Beginning from the assumption that democratic education requires us to attempt to educate all students, including those with little experience with academic discourse, this text is a study of what happens when students from diverse backgrounds learn to use language in college.
