Reviews / Votes
"A Design Orientation to Second Language Writing Instruction is a thought-provoking and intellectually ambitious work that successfully challenges the field to modernize its practices. It leaves the reader not with a bag of tricks, but with a renewed philosophy-a powerful lens through which to see the immense potential in every multilingual writer. As such, it is essential reading for any educator committed to fostering inclusive, equitable, and transformative writing classrooms."- Xin Li, Shanghai International Studies University, Shanghai, China, in Applied Linguistics, 2025 (00, 1-4)
