L2 Writing in Secondary Classrooms: Student Experiences, Academic Issues, and Teacher Education

Summing Up: Recommended.”- I.Rosenthal, The College of St. Rose, for CHOICE, Novermber 2013.

“This collection is a valuable contribution to the understudied area of L2 adolescent writers.By bringing together interesting work from established and emerging scholars, the editors provide a volume that joins the 2011 JSLW special issue focused on adolescent writers in establishing a conversation in this under-researched area.” – Todd Ruecker, University of New Mexico, Journal of Second Language Writing
