Based on presentations at the Second Latin American Association of Writing Studies in Higher Education and Professional Contexts International Congress, held in Santiago, Chile, in 2018, the 14 essays in this volume (presented in English, Spanish, and Portuguese) provide multilingual contributions to writing research, addressing the teaching and learning of writing in different languages. Contributors working in linguistics, education, language, writing, and other fields in Latin America, Europe, and the US discuss theoretical aspects, including locality and globality, the inclusion of teachers in the development of large-scale writing assessments, academic language development during the school years, and writing as a practical art; second language teaching and learning in universities; teaching writing in specific contexts; and the linguistic roots of university writing studies, with discussion of research articles, grammatically oriented teaching, and action research.

This edited collection offers chapters based on presentations at the Second Latin American Association of Writing Studies in Higher Education and Professional Contexts International Congress (II ALES) held in Santiago, Chile, in 2018. Together, the contributors to the collection—drawn from nine countries and writing in three languages—highlight the many perspectives, resources, and traditions that enrich and expand international conversations about writing, writing instruction, and writing research. The multiple locations from which the chapters in this collection emerge contribute significantly to the situated findings and concerns they address, with the authors of each chapter considering the social, lingual, and institutional contexts shaping their work. Drawing on both robust traditions and cutting-edge research, this collection makes a distinctive contribution to discussions of writing in and beyond Latin America.
This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.
