Abstract:

This book examines the writing practices of three adult multilingual writers
through the prism of their writing in English as an additional language. It
illustrates some of the social, cultural and political contexts of the
writers’ literacy activities and discusses how these impact their literate and
intellectual lives. It reflects on the para- and meta-textual dimensions of
writing because organic writing practices are almost always performed within
sociocultural and power-relational contexts. In our highly compartmentalized
educational structures, writing education has been severed from those organic
components, focusing mainly on writing stylistics. This book proposes creating
space for organic writing practices in our everyday writing pedagogies, and
argues for a writing pedagogy that acknowledges the complex interactions of
social, emotional and identity-related layers of writing.
