Writing about Writing : ウィキペディア英語版 | Writing about Writing Writing about Writing (WAW), is a method or theory of teaching composition which puts emphasis on reading and writing about writing in the writing course, and reimagines first-year composition as an "introduction to writing studies." This is not to say WAW only teaches a first-year writing course as if it were an introduction to a writing major, but rather it advocates merging the ''how'' of writing with its practice. An introduction course to a writing major has both a different audience and purpose than a first-year composition course framed in WAW. The development of WAW is largely credited to Elizabeth Wardle, University of Central Florida, and Douglas Downs, Montana State University, after the publication of their 2007 article "Teaching about Writing, Righting Misconceptions." A relatively new area of first-year composition, WAW continues to emerge and change as it gains recognition by academics and composition scholars. ==History== Composition is an area of academia which hasn't always been widely recognized as its own discipline. While composition instructors strive to teach students how to become better writers, the public perception of the discipline is often that composition is merely a way to teach students how to write for other classes in college. As public perception often shapes public policy, this uninformed view of composition as a legitimate field of study has contributed to a lack of funding and emphasis on composition classes in academia.
