Naming What We Know: Threshold Concepts of Writing Studies
Employing case-study research of student reading practices, Keller explores reading-writing connections in new media contexts. He identifies a culture of acceleration€"a gathering of social, educational, economic, and technological forces that reinforce the values of speed, efficiency, and change€"and challenges educators to balance new €œfaster€ literacies with traditional €œslower€ literacies. In addition, Keller details four significant features of contemporary literacy that emerged from his research: accumulation and curricular choices; literacy perceptions; speeds of rhetoric; and speeds of reading.
Chasing Literacy outlines a new reading pedagogy that will help students gain versatile, dexterous approaches to both reading and writing and makes a significant contribution to this emerging area of interest in composition theory and practice.
