Revision: History, Theory, and Practice explores the wide range of scholarship on revision while bringing new light to bear on enduring questions. Starting with its overview of conventional definitons and misconceptions about revision, whether surface or deep, Revision then offers both theoretical and practical strategies designed to facilitate post-secondary writing instruction.
The twelve contributors examine recent cognitive writing models and the roles of long- and short-term memory in the writing process, demonstrating theoretically why revision is difficult for novices. Revision pays close attention to the meaning and function of revision for various writers, from basic to professional, creative, and second language writers. Revision concludes with a detailed presentation of practical pedagogical strategies for teaching revision, with emphasis on revision in textbooks, technology-rich contexts, and peer review.

Written by teachers for teachers, this is a practical introduction to
models and strategies employed in the teaching of English language
learners. Each chapter discusses several models and/or strategies by
focusing on particular methods. It gives the background of the method's
development, discusses practical examples and applications, provides
possible caveats and modifications, and offers a list for further
reading about the method.
The book is written to be of immediate use to
classroom teachers but will also be valuable as a supplementary
textbook. All methods discussed are currently being taught in Norland's
classes and implemented through the student teaching program at Luther
College.
Strategies include: Grammar-based Approaches, The Silent Way,
Experiential Language Learning, Literature-based Approach, Family
Literacy, and many more.
Grades K-12.
