Horning's new com­prehensive theory about basic writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorning explores the theory of writing acquisi­tion in detail. Her examination of spoken and writ­ten language and redundancy give a theoretical base to her argument that academic discourse is a sepa­rate linguistic system characterized by particular psycholinguistic features. She proposes that basic writ­ers learn to write as other learners master a second language because for them, academic written Eng­lish is a whole new language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe explores the many connections to be found in second language acquisition research to the teaching and learning of writing and gives special attention to the interlanguage hypothesis, pidginization theory, and the Monitor theory. She also addresses the role of affective factors (feelings, attitudes, emotions, and motivation) in the success or failure of writing students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Horning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809313278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809313273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.58w x 0.26d","brand":"Alice Horning","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086900048127,"sku":"9780809313273","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68e42a85-262c-4087-a772-d9f06c45da24.jpg?v=1769097213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-writing-as-a-second-alice-horning-9780809313273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
