Active Voices: The Language of College and Composition
Jeffrey Klausman
Active Voices is written for today’s students, briefly presenting important concepts about functioning in the academy and the composition classroom. By articulating and clarifying the specialized terminologies, processes, goals, and structures that guide a college education, students are invited into a world that can often be mysterious and frustrating. As David Bartholomae showed us years ago, students with little prior experience may end up inventing a university that does not match up with reality. Active Voices seeks to provide students the agency associated with that knowledge, preparing them to actively participate in their writing courses and beyond. And Active Voices is written for today’s instructors, who are knowledgeable and innovative in the ways they deliver their writing instruction. New chapter: What AI in the Academy May Mean
