Riassunto

This book brings together the work of established scholars from around the world to celebrate and honor the many ways in which Steve Graham has contributed to the advancement of teaching and researching writing. Focusing on writing development and writing instruction in different contexts of education, original contributions in this book critically engage with theoretical and empirical issues raised in Steve Graham’s influential body of work and significantly extend our understandings of the importance of writing in developing learners’ literacy and the roles of writing in teaching and learning processes.

This book is organized around themes central to Steve Graham's work, including theories and models of writing, effective instructional methods in teaching writing, surveys on teaching and learning writing, and systematic review studies on writing.

 Apart from regular chapters, the book also features personal and scholarly reflections revealing the powerful ways in which Steve Graham’s work has influenced our thinking in the field of writing research and continues to open up new avenues for future research endeavors.
