One of the primary objectives of studying theory and practice relating to technical reports is to define what constitutes report writing as genre and to place this genre within a social context. Report writing always involves the investigation of an ill-defined problem and occurs within the auspices of an organizational context. This investigative and reporting function implies a high degree of ethical and social responsibility on the investigator to interpret and report the significance of the facts, making the conclusions explicit, and forming the basis for additional interpretations. Drawing on Susan Wells' conventions for commissioned reports, this article analyzes how the Tailhook Report, which was commissioned to investigate the charges of sexual misconduct by naval aviators at the Tailhook Symposium, omits answering two of the three questions Wells establishes as necessary by precedence in the genre in order to avoid making conclusions that might necessitate actions that would alter the male-dominated power structure of the U.S. Navy.

Writing instruction in American colleges has changed significantly over the last five years. Until the 1980s, the field of composition has been sustained by attention to the written product. Many researchers, however, have moved their focus to the writing process and its rhetorical context. The implications of this paradigmshift have become apparent in the practice of writing programs: many innovative writing programs base their freshman composition courses on 'writing-as-a-process' and 'writing-to-learn' principles. At the University of California, San Diego two writing programs have adopted this approach and they have developed effective composition courses. Although the American college-curriculum is different, these recent developments in writing theory and practice could be quite relevant for Dutch post-secondary education.

Depth Interviews

This study aims to identify creative writing aspects and formulate a model for the development of creative writing competence. It was a qualitative study involving literature students from four universities in Surabaya. The data were collected through in-depth interviews. The findings show that only few students have writing experience. The learning model in the campus is one important aspect that can motivate students to write. An ideal model for the development of creative writing competence is one that integrates a variety of aspects that can develop creative writing. Some important aspects include (1) a creative writing course inliterature learning as a compulsory course at universities, (2) theory and practice (practice being more dominant than theory) for literature students, (3) attempts to make lecturers good at writing theory and practice, (4) reading enrichment in quality literary works, and (5) use of creative processes from high quality authors as inspiring part of creative work writing.
