Opis

The field of composition theory has emerged as part of the intellectual turmoil and set of pedagogical debates which have beset higher education since the 1960s and is, at the beginning of the 21st century revolutionizing the theory and praxis of higher education. As part of that programme of scholarly self-examination, composition theorists have sought to establish the proper role of written composition in the overall goals of liberal education, as well as the best methods and means by which composition practices can promote the intellectual development and the expressive capacities of students.
