About the Book
Think Your Way to Effective Writing shows students how to improve their writing by thinking rhetorically and attending to the social dimension of written discourse. This socio-rhetorical approach is based on current theories of composition, which take into account the socio-cultural situation in which writing occurs, the social function of the written product, the relationship between writer and reader, and their respective social roles with reference to a piece of writing. Unlike conventional writing text which tend to only describe desired features of the finished essay or letter (e.g. appropriate style, logical argument, a clear thesis), Think Your Way to Effective Writing demonstrates the thinking and writer-reader interaction processes which will enable students to produce the desired features. Examples and exercises are provided for students to experience the kind of thinking and situation awareness underlying effective academic writing. The book is composed of two parts. Part A teaches, in a step-by-step fashion, the thought processes involved in a socio-rhetorical approach to academic and functional writing. Part B is designed to guide post graduate students through the thinking and writing processes involved in successful thesis or dissertation writing.
