Klappentext

Now in its fifth edition, Teaching and Researching Writing offers a practical and accessible guide to understanding, researching, and teaching writing in today's world. It explores what writing is, why it matters, and how it is shaped by context, culture, and technology-including the fast-changing role of artificial intelligence.

Drawing on real research cases and classroom practices, the book demonstrates how writing can be studied and taught across different settings. Readers will find practical tools such as blogs, wikis, and e-portfolios, alongside discussions of key issues like feedback, plagiarism, identity, and multimodal communication. Hyland also presents practical insights into researching writing, illustrating methods from questionnaires and interviews to corpus and ethnographic studies. By exploring the ethical dimensions of the interplay between technology and writing improvement, this book equips readers with both a reliable overview and innovative ideas they can apply critically in their own work.

Bridging theory and practice, this comprehensive book is an ideal resource for educators, researchers, and students in applied linguistics, language teaching and TESOL interested in multiple frameworks for writing instruction. It is also a valuable companion for teacher training courses.
