Description
Writing for Pleasure Theory, Research and Practice by Ross Young and Felicity Ferguson is a groundbreaking text that explores the concept of writing for pleasure as a much-needed pedagogy. This approach aims to develop children, young people, and their teachers into extraordinary and life-long writers. The book presents 14 research-informed principles that constitute a Writing for Pleasure pedagogy, which are applied by teachers in classroom practice. It also highlights the importance of promoting affective aspects of writing teaching, such as self-efficacy, agency, and motivation. The authors' own research project is described, along with case studies of outstanding teachers across the globe. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the current status and nature of writing teaching in schools. It offers a radical new conception of what it means to teach young writers effectively today.
