Teaching Writing at University: An Experimental Programme

Like death and taxes, the quality of students' writing frequently provokes complaint, less frequently efforts to redress the grievance. In English Departments in particular, the view that staff have better things to do than teach writing is widespread (especially in Australian universities), understandable (if it means remedying an inadequacy that should have been addressed elsewhere), and perhaps justified (at least to the extent that most English Departments are already hard‐pressed teaching literature courses). It is also a view that is increasingly under attack: if our aim is to promote literacy, the ability to write well is as important as the ability to read well.

This paper looks at one attempt to provide a writing programme that does more than offer remedial assistance; it examines the reasons for doing more, the problems in doing it, and the benefits gained from a second‐year credit course in expository writing.     

Ventriloquising the Voice: Writing in the University

In this paper I consider one aspect of how student writing is supported in the university. I focus on the use of the 'writing frame', questioning its status as a vehicle for facilitating student voice, and in the process questioning how that notion is itself understood. I illustrate this by using examples from the story of the 1944 Hollywood film Gaslight and show that apparent means of facilitating voice can actually contribute to a state of voicelessness. The paper considers what recovery of voice entails and the role of the 'voice coach' both in the film, and in the classroom. Drawing on the work of Stanley Cavell, his readings of Gaslight and of the American writers Thoreau and Emerson, I explore the themes of crisis and transformation in relation to the self and society. Thoreau's notion of the father tongue and his metaphor of the axe are considered in relation to the concept of voice and are shown to be suggestive of a mature relationship to language and of an Emersonian self-reliance that is denied by the mere technical skill and mastery learning of some current approaches to academic writing.     

Intellectual and Personality Characteristics of University of Utah Students

Abstract

The purpose of the study Is to determine if counselors perceive secondary school students differently from teachers. A group of 25 effective teachers, as determined by their respective principals, and a group of 25 counselors-intraining were interviewed by the author. Each subject completed an 84-item Q-sort constructed of items describing an ideal student. Each item on the Q-sort was judged by a three-judge panel to describe a student as being more flexible or more rigid.

The two groups were matched according to degrees earned, sex, and age. The teacher group averaged six more years' experience than the counselor group.

Each subject's Q-sort was scored to produce a flexible score or a rigid score according to how the subject perceived the ideal student. A significant difference at the 0.1 level of confidence was found when Chi Square was used to analyze the data.

This study suggests that perceptual differences occur between two groups of persons in similar helping relationships which may be directly related to the personalities of the helpers. These perceptual differences are necessary for being effective In either helping relationship.     

The University Essay Writing Experience: A pathway for academic integration during transition

The purpose of this paper is to explore ways in which students' experiences during the writing process can contribute to their academic integration. Students ( n = 46) were surveyed on their experiences before, during and after completion of their first major writing assignment. They were also interviewed in focus groups. Data indicate that students perceived several factors that may potentially inhibit their academic integration—some within the broader university context and others pertaining to completion of the written assignment. Findings suggest that interactions with staff and peers during the assignment writing process can provide significant opportunities for integration, provided these interactions are supportive. The study has implications for those who plan, support and deliver first year university courses, particularly those courses involving academic writing assignments.

论文化素质课大学语文与写作的课程建设——以凯里学院为个案分析

目前在不少高校,大学语文和写作正在为各种专业课“让路”,课时被不断压缩,一些优秀的教师不愿意上这两门课。而与此形成鲜明对比的是,大学生的写作能力、对中文的驾驭能力、对文学作品的鉴赏水平等却不容乐观。其实,大学语文和写作课能有效帮助大学生提升文化素质和应用能力,把大学语文和写作建设成为以全面培养和提高学生的人文素质为宗旨的新课程,是“教”和“学”双方共同的要求。凯里学院作为升本不久的地方院校,尤其是以师范专业为主的新建本科院校,大力加强文化素质课程的教育教学力度,不断提高学生的人文素养与写作能力,是一个长期的努力方向。     

写作学科建设的新进展——从复旦大学增设"文学写作"硕士点谈起

大学英语写作教学的反思与探析

大学英语写作是大学英语课程教学中不可或缺的重要组成部分。英语写作不仅有助于学生系统地提高思维组织能力和语言表达能力,而且可以使学生能在更高层次上运用和把握已经学到的语言知识,逐渐培养英语语感。在当前大学英语教学中,写作教学仍是一个相对薄弱的环节。文章就实际教学中教师应如何改进教学方法,激发学生学习兴趣,鼓励并帮助学生形成自主学习的有效学习策略,以及学习任务的评估这几方面作一探讨,从而进一步推动大学英语写作教学改革的发展。
