"In keeping with the spirit of the first edition, Teaching ESL Composition: Purpose, Process, and Practice, Second Edition presents pedagogical approaches to the teaching of ESL composition in the framework of current theoretical perspectives on second language writing processes, practices, and writers." The dual emphasis on theory and practice makes this text appropriate as a primary or supplementary text in courses focusing on second language writing theory and in practicum courses that emphasize or include second language writing instruction or literacy instruction more generally.
