This organization is planned to offer instructors the flexibility to best support the pacing of the composition course. There are 2 expository, 1 narrative, and 2 argument essays. Each module includes one essay, with accompanying activities and supporting materials.

Given the increasing global demand for learning the Korean language, many individuals aspire to become Korean instructors. Among these future Korean educators, there are those who lack confidence in their English speaking skills and seek guidance on effectively teaching the Korean language using clear and fluent English. They are also interested in acquiring the appropriate terminology and expressions for conveying aspects of the Korean language and culture when instructing in the classroom. Within this book, we will offer a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to teach the Korean language in English.

This book introduces students to the basic ideas of translation while addressing frequent pain points that recur when working bidirectionally. Additionally, a focus is placed on fostering metacognitive skills by encouraging creative translation from real-world environments such as narration, business, advertising, specialized contexts (including inclusive and queer language), and in situations when there are no clear translations available, such as sci-fi and fantasy works. Chapters alternate between Spanish and English as the languages of discussion, thus providing an equitable challenge for native speakers of both languages.2982018-09-07T17:21:53Z2024-01-22T14:51:57ZCritical Expressivism: Theory and Practice in the Composition Classroom<img alt="Read more about Critical Expressivism: Theory and Practice in the Composition Classroom" title="Critical Expressivism: Theory and Practice in the Composition Classroom cover image" class="cover " width="858" height="1306" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjM4LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--53fe667647c2329ceba35d111d645071c0bada30/9781602356511.png" />Critical Expressivism is an ambitious attempt to re-appropriate intellectual territory that has more often been charted by its detractors than by its proponents. Indeed, as Peter Elbow observes in his contribution to this volume, "As far as I can tell, the term 'expressivist' was coined and used only by people who wanted a word for people they disapproved of and wanted to discredit." The editors and contributors to this collection invite readers to join them in a new conversation, one informed by "a belief that the term expressivism continues to have a vitally important function in our field."5882018-09-07T17:22:11Z2024-01-22T14:52:01ZYou, Writing!

Writing and Literature: Composition as Inquiry, Learning, Thinking and Communication connects students with works and exercises and promotes student learning that is kairotic and constructive. Dr. Tanya Long Bennett, professor of English at the University of North Georgia, poses questions that encourage active rather than passive learning. Furthering ideas presented in Contribute a Verse: A Guide to First-Year Composition as a complimentary companion, Writing and Literature builds a new conversation covering various genres of literature and writing. Students learn the various writing styles appropriate for analyzing, addressing, and critiquing these genres including poetry, novels, dramas, and research writing. The text and its pairing of helpful visual aids throughout emphasizes the importance of critical reading and analysis in producing a successful composition. Writing and Literature is a refreshing textbook that links learning, literature, and life.9122020-09-13T20:38:41Z2024-01-22T14:52:12ZAdvanced Community College ESL Composition: An Integrated Skills Approach<img alt="Read more about Advanced Community College ESL Composition: An Integrated Skills Approach" title="Advanced Community College ESL Composition: An Integrated Skills Approach cover image" class="cover " width="302" height="307" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTUzMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--328da93946fa7876337a1089ef42e4f971ac1334/Cover-Picture.jpg" />This book has been created to provide a framework for building your skills in writing and critical thinking.
