Todd Ruecker published a short article, "Exploring
the Linguistic and Institutional Contexts of Writing Instruction in TESOL,” in
the June 2014 issue of TESOL Quarterly, the top journal in the field of
TESOL. He co-authored this piece with
Shawna Shapiro from Middlebury College, Erik N. Johnson from Arizona State
University, and Christine M. Tardy from the University of Arizona. It is based on a globally distributed survey
of 456 TESOL members about the way writing is shaped by their particular
teaching context.
