Index

The new edition of Ken Hyland's text provides an authoritative guide to writing theory, research, and teaching. Emphasising the dynamic relationship between scholarship and pedagogy, it shows how research feeds into teaching practice. Teaching and Researching Writing introduces readers to key conceptual issues in the field today and reinforces their understanding with detailed cases, then offers tools for further investigating areas of interest. This is the essential resource for students of applied linguistics and language education to acquire and operationalise writing research theories, methods, findings, and practices--as well as for scholars and practitioners looking to learn more about writing and literacy.
New to the fourth edition:
Added or expanded coverage of important topics such as translingualism, digital literacies and technologies, multimodal and social media writing, action research, teacher reflection, curriculum design, teaching young learners, and discipline-specific and profession-specific writing.
Updated throughout--including revision to case studies and classroom practices--and discussion of Rhetorical Genre Studies, intercultural rhetoric, and expertise.
Reorganised References and Resources section for ease of use for students, researchers, and teachers.
