Extract

TEACHING ESL COMPOSITION: PURPOSE, PROCESS, AND PRACTICE (2nd ed.). Dana R. Ferris and John S. Hedgcock. Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum, 2005. Pp. xiv + 431. $45.00 paper.

This book presents theoretical and practical issues relevant to the teaching of composition to learners of English as a second language (ESL). As the subtitle implies, the book firmly grounds the purpose of teaching ESL composition in past and current research, puts emphasis on the writing process of ESL writers, and pursues pedagogical equilibrium with equal focus on theory and practice. The book approaches broad and general themes in the first few chapters and moves on to more specific pedagogical concerns in the later chapters.
