Feature: Teaching for Writing Transfer: A Practical Guide for Teachers

Sonja Andrus ; Sharon Mitchler ; Howard Tinberg

Abstract

In this essay we explore a variation of teaching for transfer (TFT) curriculum based on Writing across Contexts, published in 2014 by Yancey et al. We explain what the TFT curriculum is, how we modified it to fit our local two-year college contexts, and offer a look ahead to the continued research on this curriculum.
