LEARNING TO WRITE AS A HOSTILE ACT FOR LATINO S...

Cultural differences play a part in communication breakdowns between students and teachers  and
only a complete understanding of the model that English instructors use when teaching writing
gives us an insight into the reasons why. This book observes and analyzes the communication
patterns of Latino students in an English course at the college level  closely observing the
interaction between Latino students and the teacher  as well as between Latino students and
other student groups in the class. Learning to Write as a Hostile Act for Latino Students
concludes that cultural differences - and the resulting miscommunications - significantly
contribute to the negative impressions Latino students have about the writing process and
English courses. Understanding these differences is crucial to improving the teaching of
writing to Latino and other minority students.
