Rhetoric, as a general teaching -- while preaching locality of action and guidelines for handling that locality -- has tended from the beginning to serve as a universality. It has offered a generalized techne with only limited categories, appropriate for all discursive situations, at least for those that were not excluded from the realm of rhetoric. Nonetheless, from its beginnings, rhetoric limited its interests to certain activity fields such as law, government, religion, and most important, the educators of leaders in these activity fields. This collection presents landmarks showing where the Writing-Across-the-Curriculum (WAC) and Writing in the Disciplines (WID) movements have gone. They have opened up a number of prospects that were impossible to see when rhetoric and composition confined their gaze to relatively few discursive activities. This suggests that the rhetorical landscape is becoming more complex and interesting, as well as more responsive to life in the complex, differentiated societies that have emerged in the last few centuries. This volume will reveal to scholars and researchers a range of possibilities for the study of disciplinary discourse and its teaching, and suggest to them new prospects for the future -- and for the better.

"To understand the ways students learn to write, we must go beyond the small and all too often marginalized component of the curriculum that treats writing explicitly and look at the broader, though largely tacit traditions students encounter in the whole curriculum," explains David R. Russell, in the introduction to this singular study. The updated edition provides a comprehensive history of writing instruction outside general composition courses in American secondary and higher education, from the founding public secondary schools and research universities in the 1870s, through the spread of the writing-across-the-curriculum movement in the 1980s, through the WAC efforts in contemporary curriculums.

Dr. Wu Dan’s Introducing Writing Across the Curriculum into China is an important and provocative research study that is broadly international in scope. Of particular significance for education in China, this book provides a historical analysis of writing instruction in China and an original application of activity theory used to analyze problems and possibilities for Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) in higher education. Through an examination of important aspects of WAC as it has developed in the United States, Dr. Wu Dan brings together various perspectives in support of developing and sustaining WAC programs in China and by analogy throughout the world. Her work opens new avenues for research in writing and for the teaching of courses throughout the curriculum using a writing-in-the-disciplines approach. A major contribution to international WAC scholarship, Introducing Writing Across the Curriculum into China will be invaluable to English faculty and to all readers interested in educational innovations in China.

Writing in the Disciplines (WiD) is a growing field in which discipline-based academics, writing developers, and learning technologists collaborate to help students succeed as subject specialists. This book places WiD in its theoretical and cultural contexts and reports on initiatives taking place at a range of UK higher education institutions. Also includes surveys of current developments and scholarship in the US, Australia, Europe and elsewhere, making it of interest to both a UK and an international audience.

This book emphasizes ways in which communication skills are used to enhance the learning process in the disciplines. Specifically, it presents experiences and best practices from institutions in various cultures – the United States, India, Egypt, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Australia. Related pedagogical issues that affect engagement - critical inquiry, creativity and integrity - are given prominence. The title “Sustaining Excellence in Communicating across the Curriculum: Cross-Institutional Experiences and Best Practices,” thus, provides a framework for the variety of practices that foster student empowerment, cultivate ownership of expression, and sustain learning excellence within and across disciplines. Scholars of CAC, teachers concerned with active, engaging pedagogies across the disciplines, and applied linguists will find this anthology particularly appealing. The culture-specific experiences are intriguing, highlighting surprising similarities and differences in the application of CAC theory.

How can institutions develop and sustain writing across the curriculum (WAC) programs? This volume, written for faculty and administrators alike, answers that question. Chapters written by some of the foremost WAC directors and consultants in the country discuss how to get started, how to run WAC workshops, what role administrators can play, and how WAC can be integrated into the university curriculum. Also, there are pertinent chapters on developing permanent institutional support for WAC. Writing Across the Curriculum gives details about resources successful WAC programs need - administrators, coordinators, faculty who participate in workshops and seminars, support systems such as peer tutoring or writing centers, and institution-specific curricular models. The book assumes that WAC directors are learners as well as facilitators of learning, and asserts that they expand the definition of "good" writing through discussion with members of other disciplines.
