Description
Reflecting the rich complexity of contemporary college composition pedagogy, this unique collection presents twelve original essays on several of the most important approaches to the teaching of writing. Each essay is written by an experienced teacher/scholar and describes one of the major pedagogies employed today: process, expressive, rhetorical, collaborative, feminist, critical, cultural studies, community service, and basic writing. Writing centers, writing
across the curriculum, and technology and the teaching of writing are also discussed. The essays are composed of personal statements on pedagogical applications and bibliographical guides that aid
students and new teachers in further study and research. Contributors include Christopher Burnham, William A. Covino, Ann George, Diana George, Eric H. Hobson, Rebecca Moore Howard, Susan C. Jarratt, Laura Julier, Susan McLeod, Charles Moran, Deborah Mutnick, Lad Tobin, and John Trimbur. An invaluable tool for graduate students and new teachers, A Guide to Composition Pedagogies provides an exceptional introduction to composition studies and the extensive range of pedagogical
approaches used today.

Reviews / Votes
"A particularly useful and enticing collection. I especially appreciate the attention the authors give to addressing the considerable areas of overlap in composition theory/pedagogy, while clearly delineating the differences. A very descriptive reader rather than a didactic guide."--Stephen Adkison, Director, Writing Center, Idaho State University"An excellent guide to different philosophies of teaching writing. It should be of great assistance to both prospective and current instructors as they develop and enhance their own approaches to composition classes."--Stephen M. Hecox, New Mexico Highlands University
"A concise, thorough overview of contemporary composition pedagogies and their roots in ancient, more 'traditional' theories of reading and writing."--Mary Blanchard, University of Texas, Dallas
"A comprehensive, up-to-date, smart book."--Anushiya Sivanarayanan, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville
