Abstract

Why do some students prosper as college writers, moving forward with their writing, while others lose interest? In this essay we explore some of the paradoxes of writing development by focusing on the central role the freshman year plays in this development. We argue that students who make the greatest gains as writers throughout college (1) initially accept their status as novices and (2) see in writing a larger purpose than fulfilling an assignment. Based on the evidence of our longitudinal study, we conclude that the story of the freshman year is not one of dramatic changes on paper; it is the story of changes within the writers themselves.

新手如专家:大一写作。

为什么有些学生作为大学作家成功了，继续写作，而另一些人却失去了兴趣?在这篇文章中，我们通过关注大一在写作发展中所扮演的核心角色来探讨写作发展的一些悖论。我们认为，那些在大学期间作为作家获得最大收获的学生(1)最初接受了他们作为新手的地位，(2)在写作中看到了比完成任务更大的目的。根据我们纵向研究的证据，我们得出结论，大一的故事并不是纸面上的戏剧性变化;这是一个关于作家自身变化的故事。
