"The new edition of Ken Hyland's text provides an authoritative guide to writing theory, research, and teaching. Emphasizing the dynamic relationship between scholarship and pedagogy, it shows how research feeds into teaching practice. The book 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 operationalize writing research theories, methods, findings, and practices - as well as for scholars and practitioners looking to learn more about writing and literacy"-- Provided by publisher.
