Too Much on Our Plates: A Response to Terry Santos'"Ideology in Composition: L1 and ESL."

Johns, Ann M.

Journal of Second Language Writing, v2 n1 p83-88 Jan 1993

In a response to an article on second-language (L2) composition instruction, it is argued that the disciplines of first-language (L1) and L2 writing instruction are different, the students come with different backgrounds, the teachers are products of disparate disciplines, and each can and should learn from the other.
