Argumentative Writing in a Second Language: Perspectives on Teaching,
Assessment, and Research
Editors: Alan Hirvela (Ohio State University) and Diane Belcher (Georgia State
University)

Argumentative writing is widely known as an important type of writing in
different educational contexts as well as a frequently assigned form of
writing. Research has consistently shown that it is also a difficult form of
writing to acquire. Reporting on a survey of college essay assignments, Wolfe
(2011, p. 193) concludes that “Argumentation is valued across the curriculum,
yet different academic contexts require different forms of argumentation.” L2
writing scholars have long been interested in this form of writing, and a
modest but steady stream of articles reporting on argumentative writing
research has appeared since the 1980s. However, as Hirvela (2017) has recently
asserted, the L2 writing field, unlike the L1 domain, has not yet developed a
fully formed agenda for explorations of such writing. Of particular note is
the absence of book-length treatments of L2 argumentative writing that would
provide the kind of substantive examination of the topic that has yet to
emerge. This edited collection is intended to address that gap in the L2
argument scholarship through a series of chapters that will offer cogent and
thought-provoking perspectives and insights falling within three books
sections:

- Conceptualizing argumentative writing
- Researching argumentative writing
- Teaching and assessing argumentative writing

Within these sections, we look to see coverage of areas such as (a) theories
and models of argumentation, (b) argumentation across cultures, (c)
multiliteracies and argumentation, (d) multimodal argument in a digital age,
(e) argumentation in pre-college settings, (f) argumentation across the
disciplines, (g) argumentation in L2 college writing courses, (h)
argumentation in non-academic settings, (i) pedagogical approaches for young
learners, (j) pedagogical approaches for secondary-level learners, (k)
pedagogical approaches for tertiary-level learners, and (l) assessment
approaches.
