Technologies in the Second Language Composition Classroom (The Michigan Series on Teaching Multilingual Writers)

Grounded in applied linguistics research and composition theory and practice, Technologies in the Second Language Composition Classroom encourages teachers to explore the role technology can play in the acquisition of writing for second language students.  This research-based volume supports the incorporation of technology into classrooms, providing students with motivation and tools to develop their writing skills.  The book provides not only an intellectually engaging perspective on the on-going debates regarding technologically enhanced writing and writing pedagogy, but it also delves in to the technologies themselves, from blogs and blogging to computer-mediated discourse and concordancing.
