What I Learned in Basic Writing: Negotiating Commitment.
Davis, Kevin
Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, v5 n1 p35-42 Fall 1988
Uses Clark and Trow's schema for differentiating collegiate, vocational, academic, and nonconformist peer cultures to classify basic writers' areas of commitment and attachment. Suggests ways that students can be grouped to work at translating non-Standard English so that it can be better understood by other cultures. (DMM)
