The goal is to help students move toward fluency in Spanish. All students should markedly improve in the four skills areaswriting, reading, speaking, and understandingthat comprise functional fluency in the target language. Native Spanish speakers also will benefit from the intense focus on writing and grammar in the course.

Fishman- wish for more more detailed analyses of literacy issues in I doubt that all in compositionstudies and educational not the only ones who should read this book http://www.aaanet.org/cae/aeq/br/fishman2.htm
Extractions: Whose Goals? Whose Aspirations? Learning to Teach Underprepared Writers across the Curriculum. Stephen M. Fishman and Lucille McCarthy. Logan: Utah State University Press, 2002. 238 pp. A NNE B EAUFORT Stonybrook University anne.beaufort@stonybrook.edu Although the title of this book is apt, the books scope is so broad that I could imagine two or three additional subtitles: Negotiating Power Relations and Roles in the Classroom, or Applying Dewey vs. Freire in a Multicultural Classroom, or Examining the Social Aims of Education. If you are interested in any of the above, explored honestly, in a systematic and engaging manner, read on. In the first two cases, Fishman did no direct one-to-one intervention: other than giving feedback that the initial work was below a passing grade, Fishman applied the same strategies to these students as to the whole class. He practiced great respect for individual differences, a passion for helping students learn, and enactment of active and democratic (decentralized) classroom activities and homework assignmentsall of which involved frequent and varied types of writing. With the third case, which occurred after the first two, Fishman took an experimental approach to helping the student: a one-to-one tutorial, following the same principles enacted in the classroom, and adding two key elements: (1) an openness to learning what was causing the students reading and writing problemsrather than assuming the causes; and (2) gentle coaching on strategies for reading and writing that could improve literacy.
