Rhetoric and stylistics deal with successful human communication and the arrangement of language in texts. As the most influential of all language-related disciplines, rhetoric has an ancient tradition and is presently experiencing a remarkable revival. Stylistics analyzes the structures of texts with regard to their semantic potential and their function in the life of the individual and in society. The handbook offers surveys of theoretical approaches, forms of linguistic practice and practical contexts from antiquity to the present.
Facilitating L2 Writers' Interpretation of Source Texts
Student success in higher education often involves the effective integration of source texts into students' writing. Teaching L2 students to write from sources is challenging because of several issues, including limited practice with reading-to-write tasks and limited knowledge about the organizational structure (at many levels) of the texts they are reading and those they are expected to write. In this pedagogical article the researchers present key reading-to-write instructional interventions. The interventions promote reading-to-write development by moving from comprehension of source materials to a focus on students' capacities to interpret (i.e., summarize and paraphrase) source texts.
The Lexical Advantages of Narrow Reading for Second Language Learners
Narrow reading is reading on the same topic over the course of a number of texts. One advantage of narrow reading is that readers become familiar with the topic and have much better background knowledge for future passages on that topic. Another advantage has to do with the mechanics of vocabulary distribution. Key words in topic-related passages tend to recur, easing the lexical burden on readers as they become familiar with this vocabulary. From a reading perspective, focusing on texts on a recurrent topic should give learners the chance to practice reading more quickly and fluently.
