Bøger af Xiaoye You

Despite the vast number of multilingual speakers in the United States and the pervasive influence of globalization, writing studies in the US is still inextricably linked to a nationalistic, monolingual English ideology. In Cosmopolitan English and Transliteracy, Xiaoye You addresses this issue by proposing that writing studies programmes adopt a cosmopolitan perspective.

Explores the historical, cultural, and political effects of teaching English composition in China. This book offers scholars a chance to observe how a nation changed from monolingual writing practices to bilingual writing instruction in a school setting. It alerts American writing scholars and teachers to an untimely English monolingual mentality.
