✦ Synopsis

Extends the conversation on teacher education and second language writing to global contexts

This book revisits second language (L2) writing teacher education by exploring the complex layers of L2 writing instruction in non-English dominant contexts (i.e. English as a foreign language contexts). It re-envisions L2 writing teacher education by moving away from the uncritical embracement of Western-based writing pedagogies.
