1. I am having trouble understanding the dichotomy "process versus product" in Lad Tobin text and his position on the topic. How can those who claim to be product-oriented deny the importance of process? And it seems to me that Tobin slightly disagrees with those who defend a product-oriented teaching approach but I am not sure.
2. "What is composition and why do we teach it?" made me wonder about the English department and the brief history of composition which is presented. I wonder if the "acceptance" and development of composition in academia is related to English gradually stablishing itself as a lingua franca, and how much that might have motivated people worldwide to write in English.
