Peer Response in Second Language Writing Classrooms, Second Edition (The Michigan Series on Teaching Multilingual Writers)
By Jun Liu, Jette Hansen Edwards. 2018
There have been a number of major developments in second language (L2) writing and peer response teaching and research since…
the publication of the first volume of this book in 2002. Two of these, in particular, are worth mentioning as they have motivated the substantive revisions we have made to the Second Edition of Peer Response in Second Language Writing Classrooms. The first of these is the increased interest in the use of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and, specifically, computer-mediated communication (CMC) for L2 pedagogy, particularly after the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies in the mid-2000s. These technologies have had a significant impact on how L2 writing and peer response are being researched and taught. In the Second Edition of Peer Response in Second Language Writing Classrooms we examine the use of both asynchronous and synchronous CMC for L2 peer response, including a detailed look at the benefits and drawbacks of a range of CMC technologies, including wikis, blogs, Facebook, and email. The second major development—influenced no doubt by the unparalleled access today’s teachers and researchers have to information through the internet—is the accessibility and visibility of research on L2 peer response from a wide range of regions and countries across the globe. In making revisions to the content of the Second Edition of Peer Response in Second Language Writing Classrooms, we draw on research findings from a range of countries and cultures including China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, and Egypt, among others. Incorporating voices and research from across the globe greatly enriches and expands the body of research on peer response, and offers some evidence that peer response is becoming a norm in L2 writing classrooms around the world. The Second Edition of this book offers insights from a careful synthesis of the research, and draws on real life experiences of both authors in teaching peer response at different proficiency, age, and experience levels, and with a range of modes. By incorporating research on CMC for peer response, and particularly the use of Web 2.0 technologies, the Second Edition has been revised for the next generation of L2 writing classrooms.This book uses a corpus of manuscript letters from Bess of Hardwick to investigate how linguistic features characteristic of spoken…
communication function within early modern epistolary prose. Using these letters as a primary data source with reference to other epistolary materials from the early modern period (1500-1750), the author examines them in a unique and systematic way. The book is the first of its kind to combine a replicable scribal profiling technique, used to identify holograph and scribal handwriting within the letters, with innovative analyses of the language they contain. Furthermore, by adopting a discourse-analytic approach to the language and making reference to the socio-historical context of language use, the book provides an alternative perspective to the one often presented in traditional historical accounts of English. This volume will appeal to students and scholars of early modern English and historical linguistics.The SAGE Handbook of Digital Journalism

This trenchant analysis examines the many ways our society's increasingly tenuous commitment to facts laid the groundwork for Donald Trump's…
rise to power.Award-winning journalist Nathan Bomey argues that Trump did not usher the post-truth era into being. He was its inevitable outcome. Bomey points to recent trends that have created the perfect seedbed for spin, distortion, deception, and bald-faced lies: shifting news habits, the rise of social media, the spread of entrenched ideologies, and the failure of schools to teach basic critical-thinking skillsThe evidence supporting the author's argument is all around us: On Facebook, we present images of our lives that ignore the truth and intentionally deceive our friends and family. We consume fake news stories online and carelessly circulate false rumors. In politics, we vote for leaders who leverage political narratives that favor ideology over science. And in our schools, we fail to teach students how to authenticate information.After the Fact explores how the convergence of technology, politics, and media has ushered in the misinformation age, sidelining the truth and threatening our core principle of community.A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Ninth Edition: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing)

today’s students would be conducting research. Yet while the ways in which we research and compose papers may have changed, the fundamentals remain the same: writers need to have a strong research question, construct an evidence-based argument, cite their sources, and structure their work in a logical way. A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations—also known as “Turabian”—remains one of the most popular books for writers because of its timeless focus on achieving these goals. This new edition filters decades of expertise into modern standards. While previous editions incorporated digital forms of research and writing, this edition goes even further to build information literacy, recognizing that most students will be doing their work largely or entirely online and on screens. Chapters include updated advice on finding, evaluating, and citing a wide range of digital sources and also recognize the evolving use of software for citation management, graphics, and paper format and submission. The ninth edition is fully aligned with the recently released Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, as well as with the latest edition of The Craft of Research. Teachers and users of the previous editions will recognize the familiar three-part structure. Part 1 covers every step of the research and writing process, including drafting and revising. Part 2 offers a comprehensive guide to Chicago’s two methods of source citation: notes-bibliography and author-date. Part 3 gets into matters of editorial style and the correct way to present quotations and visual material. A Manual for Writers also covers an issue familiar to writers of all levels: how to conquer the fear of tackling a major writing project. Through eight decades and millions of copies, A Manual for Writers has helped generations shape their ideas into compelling research papers. This new edition will continue to be the gold standard for college and graduate students in virtually all academic disciplines.Writing with Sources: A Guide for Students

By Calvin F. Exoo. 2010
An eye-opening case study of the news at war, introducing a critical perspective on our mass mediaThe Pen and the…
Sword is the only comprehensive examination of how the media have covered the 21st Century's #1 news story: terrorism and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the full story—from 9/11 to the Obama doctrine, and including:The war in Afghanistan. There were two sides to this story, but the press told only one, and the untold story would return to haunt us. The campaign for war in Iraq. What did the press know and when did they know it about the web of lies that led us into war?Iraq, from invasion to "Mission Accomplished." When the story of war is told as patriotic hymn, Playstation game, or melodrama of macho heroes and bad guys dressed in black, important things are left out.Aftermath, from "Mission Accomplished" to the present. Something has changed since the Vietnam War, when the press finally found its critical voice. However, the 21st Century media continue to cling to an untenable, pro-war story, even after the public has abandoned it. The Pen and the Sword uses this tragic and eye-opening case study of the news at war to ask, "Why?" and to offer a critical perspective on our mass media, including the latest information on the underpinnings of the news business—corporate ownership, the power of elites to define the news—and adds three important new features of the media landscape: The media profit crisis of the late '00s and how it is affecting the news. The creation and mainstreaming of a new right-wing media surround-sound system. The increasing importance of entertainment media and soft news in shaping our views.The Law of Journalism and Mass Communication
