This book, designed for upper-division and graduate-level courses in technical and professional writing, explores in considerable depth and detail adult work-world writing problems in five major sectors of the economy, and offers specific strategies for curricular reforms that might help re-shape college-level writing courses and programs in the years to come. Its authors, all of whom have more than 20 years of experience as both writing teachers and corporate consultants, suggest that adult professionals need writing courses and programs more specifically targeted to the special problems and processes they will encounter in their particular worlds of work.

"Whether writing one or asking someone else to write it, a letter of recommendation can be a daunting task. What should you say in it? What phrases will really sell a candidate (or yourself) without sounding over-the-top? This handy reference will guide you through the process with hundreds of ready-to-use phrases that will surely help you or the applicant land the job or gain admittance to the desired school"--Cover, p. 4.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of instituting change in language education programs. Markee presents a theoretical framework based on an analysis of six different examples of curricular and teacher innovation. The text then illustrates how the framework was applied to the management of a major curricular change in a U.S. university program. An analysis of this case study leads to the formulation of nine principles that language teaching professionals may use to guide their own management of educational innovation. The conclusions reached will be of interest to language teachers, researchers, teacher educators, and program administrators.
