Teaching and Researching: Writing
Ken Hyland

Teaching and Researching: Writing offers a clear, comprehensive
overview of writing research and teaching. Ken Hyland, a widely
published and highly experienced teacher of both Applied Linguistics
and EFL, brings together the latest research and teaching practices in
the field of writing in this highly readable, wide-ranging volume.
Writing is one of the central pillars of language learning and of
major interest and concern to teachers, students and researchers. This
book outlines the historical and conceptual background to the field of
writing, deals with current questions relating to both practice and
research, and outlines the direction which the field is moving in. In
addition to a full discussion of the current applications of research
in terms of courses, materials, teaching practices and software,
Teaching and Researching: Writing offers practical suggestions for
teaching approaches. The practical nature of the volume also extends
to research projects with a dedicated chapter setting out a number of
do-able, small scale research topics. 

A number of resources, and learning aids are included: 

- chapter reviews and overviews 
- key texts listings after each section 
- discussions of case studies 
- compendium of paper and online resources 
- list of major associations and conferences 
- glossary of key terms 
- list of references. 

The combination of teaching and research analysis and practical
information makes this an invaluable resource for practitioners,
researchers, students and professionals engaged in language study and
teaching.
