Teaching L2 Composition: Purpose, Process, and Practice

The writing is overly scholarly. However, the content is extremely informative, useful, and brings a lot more awareness to the average writing teacher. Definitely recommend if you want to improve your teaching.

Great book. Used it for my course on teaching English writing to nonnative speaking foreigners.

I learned a lot from this book about the needs of L2 students. It's a great guide for creating lesson plans and grading rubrics. I'm definitely going to be taking ideas from it and applying them in my class.

This is a very well-rounded textbook for future TESOL teachers of composition. The authors give a lot of practical guidelines on teaching ESL writing. The best part is that their methods are backed up with thorough research and studies on which methods are actually effective, and which ones seem effective but don't get better results.

Great book, easy to read and comprehensive. Offers lots of examples which was nice.

The new edition's updates (including the nuanced name change) are welcome and only serve to enhance an already essential text for L2 educators.

So great and useful a book for instructors as well as for learners.

Very theoretical without enough applied practice for my liking.

The authors made no attempt to make this book even remotely interesting. They drone on and on in the most pedantic way. Ironic that this is a book about teaching writing.

Ideal for ICELT and Delta teachers.

As I handle the composition writing classes for senior high school in a private school in Japan, I use this as a guidebook in assigning tasks and providing feedback. It is responsive to the times as it has useful tips about handling digital writing instruction and assessment. What a worthy investment for writing teachers to make these days!
