Kasper, Loretta Frances
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v23 n1 p25-33 Feb 1996
Compares formal writing (analytical essays) and informal writing (short answer workbook-type exercises identifying main themes and ideas) as part of English-as-a-Second-Language reading education. Examines informal and formal writing assignments given to groups of students of comparable reading ability. Shows that formal writing did more to improve students' reading ability. (TB)
