| Omschrijving | Written communication is an unique characteristic of the human species. Writing is a lifelong skill that equips us with communication and thinking skills and it is a fundamental skill for our participation in society. In this course writing will be looked at from different theoretical perspectives. Sociocultural, cognitive and linguistic approaches to the study of writing contexts, writing processes and texts will be discussed. Lectures, presentations and discussions will introduce the participants into theories, methods and current issues in writing research. In a series of practicals students will get acquainted with tools and technologies for the elicitation, registration and analysis of writing data. Students will conclude the course with a small-scale empirical study. The tentative syllabus of the course is outlined below. Topics for lectures and presentations include: theoretical approaches to writing, writing in the real world, cognitive and psycholinguistic models of writing, connections between writing, speaking and reading, technologies for writing, writing development, writing education, characteristics of writers, and assessing writing. Topics for practicals include ethnography of writing, think-aloud protocols, key-stroke logging, revision analysis, text analysis, questionnaires, and assessment techniques. |
