Web of Meaning Essays on Writing, Teaching, Learning, and Thinking

The title of these eleven essays and talks comes from Vygotsky's famous observation that writing is elaborating the web of meaning. Arranged chronologically, they form a remarkable story of how one of the most thoughtful and provocative researchers and teachers in the English profession came to an ever-deepening understanding of what writing and learning are, how they can be nurtured, and what teaching means in relation to themselves.Emig, Janet is the author of 'Web of Meaning Essays on Writing, Teaching, Learning, and Thinking', published 1983 under ISBN 9780867090475 and ISBN 0867090472.
