Recenzje

"...Zamel and Spack have selected authors well. All of the pieces are worth reading, and many of them are certain to invite lively discussion about academics and their words."
—Contemporary Psychology

"[I] recommend this book, particularly to new teachers in the field of ESL writing, who may have yet to grasp the magnitude of their task. However, even for seasoned teachers and researchers already familiar with the arguments as summarized so far, Zamel and Spack's volume offers something engaging and challenging."
—TESL-EJ

"Spack explores the crucial role teachers play in managing the conflicting identities in the classroom and suggests a dialogue on what has been ignored. A treasure for teacher educators and new writing teachers to have in a single volume."
—TESOL: Teacher Education Interest Section Newsletter

"Although ESL is closely related to composition, education, linguistics, anthropology, and other fields, the work of ESL scholars is too seldom seen in the publications of these fields, and vice versa. The appearance of Zamel and Spack's edited collection of influential, thought-provoking readings on academic literacy from ESL as well as from these other areas is therefore welcome indeed. Perusing this collection of previously published articles allows one to see the multitude of connections among the fields represented."
—TESOL Quarterly

"This collection provides an effective introduction to some of the important figures in the field of discourse and second language for people who teach literacy to students of diverse backgrounds and who train teachers. These essays provide a historical perspective of the study of academic literacy. Finally, a teaching tool and useful reference, this book is also important as an addition to the limited number of books which explore topics related to second language writing and linguistic diversity."
