In accordance to Matsuda's article in 1999 on Composition Studies and ESL Writing: A Disciplinary Division of Labor, compositionists should start reading and studying about second language (L2) writing because of the growing of ESL student body in the university. This is the most recent and up-to-date book on L2 writing that everyone will find satisfactorily.
The editors have laid out the content thematically and pointed out the missing puzzles of the field for teacher-researcher scholars to work on the missing issues effectively.
This book is suitable for both novice and expert in the field. For novice, this book is a great place to start as the content of the book is most recent and has synthesized the references for easy traceback. Experts will also find this book a homage to the field. Some often leftout and overlooked issues are identified.
Also this is a great book for a supplementary text for introductory course in composition and L2 writing, teacher educator will be ableto use this book as well.
