English Composition: Writing for an Audience

This instructional video series on English composition for college and high school classrooms and adult learners introduces basic principles and strategies for improving writing skills and communicating with a wide variety of audiences.

  1. School Writing/Real World    
    This program shows how writing in the classroom relates to writing in the "real world." Students meet those who appear throughout the course, including authors, educators, and professionals in all fields who use writing on the job, and also first-year writing students from colleges and universities across the country. The program touches on many of the issues in the "Thinking/Writing Strategies" sequence.
     

  2. Finding Something To Say    
    This program introduces the topics covered in the Writing Process sequence — invention, drafting, and revision — with the most basic English composition problem: How does a writer start "inventing" ideas? Students learn to grapple with the intimidating process of selecting a topic to write about as well as the challenge of finding a unique angle when an instructor or boss selects the topic.
