Writing about Writing at the Two-Year College: Why Composition Instructors Need to Consider “Introduction to Writing Studies” at the Two-Year College
Keywords:
teaching for transferAbstract
"Writing about Writing at the Two-Year College" explores the how and the why of using Downs and Wardle's pedagogy with students at the two-year college, which is both open-enrollment and career-focused in nature. My intention in this article, however, has less to do with the how of WAW for two-year college students than the why. Why (or why) is WAW a suitable pedagogy for two-year college composition? What about two-year colleges and their student populations should those seeking to adapt WAW consider? These are the questions I take up in this article.Downloads
