Description
Beaufort, Anne. College Writing and Beyond: A New Framework for University Writing Instruction. Logan, UT: Utah State UP, 2007. Anne Beaufort's College Writing and Beyond: A New Framework for University Writing Instruction arrives as we are experiencing a swell of interest in an Introduction to Writing Studies approach to first-year composition (Downs and Wardle). Given Beaufort's focus on how novice academic writers develop (or more often don't develop) expertise and on how they transfer (or more often don't transfer) skills from one course to another, she is likely to feed enthusiasm for that movement. She argues that writing courses should be more deliberately attentive to social context, skills transfer across contexts, and meta-awareness of how genres and discourse communities work. She pairs that argument with a longitudinal study of one student, Tim, as he journeys from freshman writing through courses in history and engineering to the beginnings of a post-college professional life. Ever pragmatic, Beaufort, by the end of the book, cycles what she learns into specific suggestions for first-year and discipline-based writing curricula.
