What's up on Monday Morning? TA Training and Freshman English.

Graham, Margaret Baker; David, Carol

Writing on the Edge, v7 n2 p59-72 Spr-Sum 1996

Offers a description of three prominent pedagogical approaches observed in freshman English teaching assistants (TAs): expressivism, formalism/mimeticism, and rhetoricism. Finds that, although a teacher may teach from all perspectives, usually one is emphasized. Studies and presents examples of each type. States that the rhetorical type is currently in favor in composition theory. (PA)
