Literacy
This four-volume collection reprints key debates about exactly what it means to be literate and how literacy can best be taught. Rather than centering on the emotional reaction of mass media debates, this set focuses on research findings into processes and pedagogy. The themes covered include Literacy : its nature and its teaching, Reading - processes and teaching, Writing - processes and teaching and New Literacies - the impact of technologies.
Technology and Writing
Computer technology has already changed writing habits, and it will do so further in the future. This book examines the effects of modern technology on writing in four distinct areas - writing at school, writing with the disabled, writing for electronic text, and writing and thinking. In each area papers are presented to show how technology has both changed and is changing writing processes. Computers can not only help writers to do routing tasks better - such as spelling, punctuating and writing readable prose - but they can also help writers to develop their thinking processes. Furthermore, in the case of handicapped users, they can release trapped intelligence. Technology and Writing is a collection of papers in this developing field, and is edited by one of the pioneers in the field of psychology and writing.
The Social Construction of Written Communication
This volume examines the role of social factors in the nature and development of written communication. Unlike previous works, the volume is dedicated to examining the ways in which written communication affects and is affected by the community of writers and readers who produce and interpret written language. It focuses on the extent to which writing depends upon principles of social context that are posited for language in general. Intended for both researchers and teachers in language, composition, education, and communication, the volume draws together a number of distinguished scholars in linguistics, communication, education, anthropology, and sociology. It offers theoretical and applied perspectives on aspects of written communication that share in the social foundations of language.
