内容简介

This volume explores the field of contrastive rhetoric, the study of how a person's first language and culture influence his or her writing in a second language. The book presents a comprehensive view of the research in this field and presents sound advice for dealing with cross-cultural issues in writing classes. The goal is to help teachers become aware of the factors influencing their students' attempts to compose effective texts and to draw on the resources individual learners bring to the task. This is a solid reference for researchers and teachers in the area of second language writing.
