This book is a user-friendly resource designed to help teachers meet the needs of linguistically, culturally, geographically, and educationally diverse students in the contemporary college composition classroom. Pelaez-Morales and McIntosh acknowledge that writing must be understood in context and address practical ways to support all writers of English, regardless of background. Chapters cover rhetorical strategies, genre analysis, feedback, and assessment. Drawing from a number of theoretical frameworks including intercultural rhetoric, L2 writing, translingualism, and World Englishes, the books practical, classroom-based suggestions will prepare pre- and in-service teachers to work in internationalized higher education contexts and to accommodate a range of knowledge and skill levels.
