| | The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing |
| | Most writing guides are written from the perspective of English and literature courses, but today students are increasingly likely to encounter writing-intensive courses in a wide range of fields, from history to physics to business to art. | | | The writing-across-the-curriculum perspective challenges students to write in many different fields, not just English courses. | | | Thus, it is hoped, students are more likely to see writing as an important part of their own education, not just something English majors need to be good at. |

| | Orwell: Politics and the English Language |
| | This mixture of vagueness and sheer incompetence is the most marked characteristic of modern English prose, and especially of any kind of political writing. | | | These rules sound elementary, and so they are, but they demand a deep change of attitude in anyone who has grown used to writing in the style now fashionable. | | | Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. |

| | Written Ute English |
| | Ute students' use of this style of written English resembles the students' use of English in other classroom domains. | | | Yet, there is a sense in which writing in Ute English and using rules of grammar and discourse drawn from the Ute language tradition when doing so, contributes to the retention of ancestral language skills within this speech community, and gives a stronger foundation for the Northern Ute tribe's efforts at ancestral language renewal. | | | In the Northern Ute case, classroom strategies which hope to move Ute students' written English in the direction of standard English models need to pay attention to oral as well as written language development and attempts to deal with these students' writing needs strictly as writing-centered problems will have only a limited effectiveness. |

| | R A I N T A X I o n l i n e Fall 2005 - Written on Water by Eileen Chang |
| | The context of Chang’s writing in English suggests the nature of her danger for a Communist reading public: her essays describe her upper-class background, and are forthright about fleeing war-ravished China in favor of English-style university education in Hong Kong, but Jones’s footnotes reveal an even more sinister truth. | | | Chang’s resilience against social pressure from the rest of the Chinese intellectual community displays an impressive strength, and despite writing from an occupied zone for collaborationist magazines, she would have called herself a-political. | | | Chang’s deft and sympathetic translator, Andrew Jones, an accomplished academic who has also translated the fiction of Yu Hua, has given Chang an English that suggests her own fluency and comfort in the language. |
