How did the discussion
about the teaching and learning of writing evolve in the German
speaking area during the last decades? This paper reconstructs
important lines of development, paying special attention to
discussions and contributions from German-speaking Switzerland.
An empirical foundation for teaching and learning of writing
has been built up through a productive cooperation between research
on writing, and writing didactics. Within this cooperation,
the view on the process of writing has become a central issue.
Based on this foundation, process-oriented writing didactics
have brought forth a number of suggestions for successful writing
didactics. Recently - in part due to a higher public interest
in school achievement -, more attention has been paid to the
effects of this teaching, leading to more frequent discussions.
As the promotion of literacy has become a societal necessity,
the issue of text competence is an increasingly important topic
of research. |
