Initiating ESL Students into the Academic Discourse Community: How Far Should We Go?

Spack, Ruth

TESOL Quarterly, v22 n1 p29-51 Mar 1988

Reviews studies of native-language writing programs and argues that the teaching of writing in the disciplines should be left to the teachers of those disciplines; English-as-a-second-language composition teachers should focus on general principles of inquiry and rhetoric, with emphasis on writing from sources.
