Deconstruction in the Composition Classroom.
Reynolds, Jean
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v26 n3 p254-61 Mar 1999
Argues that postmodern language theory offers useful insights into long-standing writing problems encountered by writing instructors. Discusses a postmodern view of language, how language shapes reality, the contributions of Jacques Derrida, and deconstruction and composition. Applies these ideas to two pedagogical ideologies, and suggests some innovative classroom practices. (SR)
