Meeting on

Content and Purpose Focused Writing

in a Knowledge Society

Sunday 5th – Monday 6th December 2004

 

 

Problems – PISA (only the surface)

Knowledge society!

 

Something i wrong – rethinking writing and practicing writing

American studies – European studies

 

America

-        great tradition

-        practice

-        hidden agenda

-        various practices – no general theory

-        some: romantic ideals

 

European

-        hidden agenda

-        adapted from America

-        cultural limited

 

A new paradigm for writing

 

In America: good practice – but no reflections

In Europe: bad practice – but good intensions

 

We have to rethink writing and practicing writing – according to both paradigms.

 

Writing: not for school but for the world (constructing the world)

 

Writing as a linguistic process

-        how do we get access to language

-        how do we get access to the world

-        what is language (production, reception)

 

“We write what we think and mean” – problem!

Are people media for language?

How are people interacting with language? / using language?

 

Traditions – new

-        writing about life, about everyday experiences

-        or: writing in school

 

School means: free time – being away from practice – being in an abstract isolated world!

 

Contradiction: How can we teach writing in a “school”? – That means writing about school and not the world!

 

PISA – in 3 days!

Some countries do not get god results – for instance Denmark

What is wrong in the way we are practicing writing?

 

(1)                  Identify the present situation in how writing is taught in        Europe (and America/how adapted?)

(2)                  establish a new theoretical basic based on empirical     research (new paradigm)

(3)                  establish new writing practices to be used in Europe

 


 

 

(1)                  (Exploring the contemporary theory and practice in     American writing tradition).

(2)                  Exploring the contemporary theory and practice in      European writing tradition.

(3)                  Exploring the adoption of the American writing tradition           to the European tradition.

(4)                  Establishing hypothesises of writing processes.

(5)                  Establishing an empirical basis for researching writing        processes in Europe – studying writing classes.

(6)                  Implementation of new writing concept on writing       classes – all levels in the education system.

(7)                  Releasing the result of the project to the public.

(8)                  Evaluation of the European Text Production Project.

(9)                  Strategies for the future – theoretical and practical in the        school system.

 

 

Best practices (cultural restrictions)

 

Mother tongue teaching

Learn from each other and incorporate the best from each country to an overall concept

 

Text production – text awareness

 

Primary and secondary schools – testing didactic materials

 

Literature

 

 

Fields and focuses:

 

How to teach children write

 

How to teach to teach writing – how do they write themselves?

 

How to see writing skills as life long learning

 

How to establish new concepts for learning according to the knowledge society – what is learning?

 

->

 

Examples

 

Focus on writing on children’s world

-        everyday life

-        appearances in every day life

-        use of language

-        other areas of knowledge, other subjects in school

-        news

-        etc.

 

 

De-focussing writing on    

-        fiction

-        lyrics

-        novels

-        literature

-        etc.

 

 

Focussing on

-        how to grip the world with language

-        how to construct the world with language

-        how to manage the world with writing

-        how to write oneself into society

-        language and reflection

-        giving writing a the capacity to handle the world

-        writing, conceptualising, constructing and social knowledge

-        writing the world…

 

De-focussing on

-        how to establish the individual

-        how to escape for reality

-        writing for school

-        writing for the teacher

-        abstract and meaningless writng

-        writing about nothing.
