Writing in the Academic Disciplines, : A Curricular

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Russell, David R., PUBLISHER: Souong>theong>rn Illinois University Press, In this singular study, David R. Russell provides a history of ong>writingong> instruction outside general composition courses in Americong>anong> secondary ong>anong>d higher education, from ong>theong> founding of public secondary schools ong>anong>d research universities in ong>theong> s through ong>theong> spread of ong>theong> ong>writingong>-across-ong>theong>-curriculum movement in ong>theong> s. Russell's task is to examine ong>theong> ways ong>writingong> was taught in ong>theong> myriad curricula that composed ong>theong> varied structure of secondary ong>anong>d higher education in modern America. He begins with ong>theong> assertion that, before ong>theong> s, ong>writingong> was taught as ong>anong>cillary to speaking. As a result, formal ong>writingong> instruction was essentially training in hong>anong>dong>writingong>, ong>theong> mechong>anong>ical process of trong>anong>scribing sound to visual form. From this point, Russell carefully examines academic ong>writingong>, its origins ong>anong>d its teaching, from a broad institutional perspective. He looks at ong>theong> history of little-studied genres of student ong>writingong> such as ong>theong> research paper, lab report, ong>anong>d essay examination. Tracing ong>theong> effects of increasing specialization on ong>writingong> instruction, he notes how two new ideals of academic life, research ong>anong>d utilitariong>anong> service, shaped ong>writingong> instruction into its modern forms. Finally, he contributes ong>theong> definitive history of ong>theong> current ong>writingong>-across-ong>theong>-curriculum movement, providing a study of ong>theong> long tradition of oong>theong>r WAC efforts with ong>anong> ong>anong>alysis of why ong>theong>y have wong>anong>ed.
