John Bitchener & Neomy Storch. Multilingual Matters, Buffalo (2016). 155 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78309-503-2 Hongbo Yi a, * a Anhui Technical College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, China Written corrective feedback (CF) is a traditionally ubiquitous pedagogical practice in L2 teaching, but its contribution to L2 development has been relatively ignored. Since Truscott (1996) claimed that written CF is ineffective in L2 development and should be abandoned, a lot of researchers and practitioners have extensively investigated its role within the framework of second language acquisition and L2 writing (Ene & Kosobucki, 2016). However, no conclusive results have been obtained. Written corrective feedback for L2 development comprehensively reviews available studies on written CF from cognitive and sociocultural perspectives and outlines the directions of future research. The book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1, a general introduction of the book, begins with the aim of the book, which is to explore the impact of written CF “on the learning of the L2” (p. 1). Then two key terms, written CF and L2 development, are defined, and the pedagogical and theoretical importance of written CF for L2 development is noted, followed by the presentation of the structure of the book. The next two chapters theoretically and empirically explore the contribution of written CF to L2 development from a cognitive perspective. Chapter 2 examines the theoretical foundations of written CF from the cognitive perspective.

    Passages Into College Writing by Jason Schneider

    Current Issue From the Editors Weblog Editorial Board Editorial Policy Submissions Archives Accessibility Search Composition Forum 40, Fall 2018 Passages into College Writing: Listening to the Experiences of International Students Jason Schneider Abstract: Enrollments of international students are at very high levels in the U.S., a development that has altered the demographics of first-year composition classes in recent years. Nonetheless, writing instructors and administrators often know little about these students’ backgrounds, which can make it difficult to design pedagogies that are responsive to their specific needs. Drawing on data from a qualitative, longitudinal study with a cohort of undergraduate international students, this article addresses three interrelated issues: 1) pre- college writing experiences of international students in both their first languages and English; 2) key points of challenge and discovery for international students as they enter the culture of U.S. academic writing; and 3) possible pedagogic interventions designed to better support international students. Situating findings in relation to recent scholarship on students’ transitions from high school to college, the article explores ways in which the experiences of international students are both similar to and different than those of their U.S.-educated peers. Introduction A few years ago, two colleagues and I who teach first-year composition (FYC) for international students organized an event for writing faculty at our institution. The goal was to provide guidance for instructors who do not have expertise in teaching international students, but who often have these students in their classes. We talked about teaching strategies, and then we invited three international students to talk about their experiences and answer questions.

  • The Terminator by John Wills

    The Terminator by John Wills

    The Terminator By John Wills “The Terminator” is a cult time-travel story pitting hu- mans against machines. Authored and directed by James Cameron, the movie features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn in leading roles. It launched Cameron as a major film di- rector, and, along with “Conan the Barbarian” (1982), established Schwarzenegger as a box office star. James Cameron directed his first movie “Xenogenesis” in 1978. A 12-minute long, $20,000 picture, “Xenogenesis” depicted a young man and woman trapped in a spaceship dominated by power- ful and hostile robots. It introduced what would be- come enduring Cameron themes: space exploration, machine sentience and epic scale. In the early 1980s, Cameron worked with Roger Corman on a number of film projects, assisting with special effects and the design of sets, before directing “Piranha II” (1981) as his debut feature.
