The recently adopted Common Core State Standards emphasize the importance of language forms and structure in learning to write. Yet most language arts teachers have either downplayed the linguistic structure of writing in favor of process approaches or emphasized the teaching of grammatical structures outside of the context of authentic writing. Technology-supported writing activities tend to mimic these two approaches, with teachers using technology for either process-based writing or for grammar drills. Most teachers are not well prepared to teach linguistic structures in context or to deploy technology for that purpose. This chapter introduces a new tool called Visual-Syntactic Text Formatting (VSTF) that has powerful affordances for teaching linguistic and textual structures in the context of authentic written genres. Drawing on an empirical study and an action research project conducted by the authors, they share evidence for the value of using VSTF and point to ways that it can be used in the classroom to help students master language structures and employ them in their composition.

The purpose of this research is to reviewe and analyze the extent to which the applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia regulate the use of signatures change by the partys in making notary deeds and to review and analyze the legal consequences of the use of signatures change by the partys in making a notary deed. This research is a normative legal research, using two types of approaches, namely the statute approach and the conceptual approach. The results of this study show that there are various causes of changing signatures of party, but the laws and regulations that apply in Indonesia do not have articles that govern this. The validity of a signature is seen based on the acknowledgment to justify the person affixing the signature. A different or change signature is justified by law insofar as the signer affixing his signature confirms that it is his signature, so that the legal consequences of such notary deeds are still valid to be used as evidence of authentic writing that has the power of perfect proof law. Tujuan dari dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis mengenai sejauh mana peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku di Indonesia mengatur mengenai penggunaan tanda tangan berubah-ubah oleh penghadap di dalam pembuatan akta notaris dan untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis mengenai akibat hukum dari digunakannya tanda tangan berubah-ubah oleh penghadap di dalam pembuatan akta notaris. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif, dengan menggunakan dua jenis pendekatan yaitu pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada berbagai penyebab terjadinya tanda tangan yang berubah-ubah dari penghadap, namun peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku di Indonesia tidak terdapat pasal yang mengatur mengenai hal tersebut. Keabsahan dari suatu tanda tangan adalah dilihat berdasarkan adanya pengakuan untuk membenarkan dari orang yang membubuhkan tanda tangan. Tanda tangan yang berbeda atau berubah-ubah dibenarkan oleh hukum sepanjang penghadap yang membubuhkan tanda tangannya tersebut membenarkan bahwa itu adalah tanda tangannya, sehingga akibat hukum terhadap akta notaris yang demikian adalah tetap sah untuk digunakan sebagai alat bukti tulisan otentik yang memiliki kekuatan hukum pembuktian sempurna.

<p>The 21st century has seen the emergence of blogs as an authentic writing practice that provides students with a sense of immediacy by allowing them to document their lives as stories or to engage their classmates with real or imaginary tales. In this study, Saudi EFL students were asked to post their writing in a blog and collaborate with their peers to edit that writing. This research used Storybird.com to offer students an opportunity to blog on curriculum topics. By sharing their entries with each other, students developed collaboration skills, individual voices, and responsibility for their writing. This research concludes by discussing the project’s implications (the peer collaboration involved gave students ownership of their writing and a better understanding of standards), challenges (time and privacy constraints), recommendations specifically for the Saudi context, and general recommendations for implementing blogging in the curriculum.</p>

The aim of the article is to determine the features of learning to write in the conditions of autonomous learning of professionally oriented English communication and to create a system of exercises and tasks for autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing for future teachers of Mathematics. The study results showed that autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing is a type of autonomous learning activity, in the process of which future teachers of Mathematics develop a willingness to take responsibility for effective tasks and form the ability to apply knowledge, skills and abilities. The components of professionally oriented English competence are knowledge; skills and abilities; communication; autonomy and responsibility. The main aspects of the content of learning to write are substantive and procedural aspects. The formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing in the process of autonomous learning of future teachers of Mathematics is organized on the interrelated fundamentals: learning to write as a type of professionally oriented English communication based on modelling authentic writing situations; use of students’ experience in communicative activities in their native language; managing the writing process through the content of the activity; a systematic approach of learning to write, including mastering the means, methods, and strategies. Autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing of future teachers of Mathematics provides: purposeful and conscious planning of activity in writing; ability to establish independently the relationship between previously studied and new educational material; ability to monitor students’ writing and control the correspondence of the writing task to the obtained result; ability to structure and restructure the accumulated knowledge; flexibility and variability in the application of accumulated life experience, experience in learning foreign languages, as well as experience in English writing. The author of the article developed a system of exercises and tasks for autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing, which consists of three subsystems: a subsystem of exercises for the development of skills of mastering the strategies of professionally oriented writing; a subsystem of exercises for the formation of communicative writing skills; a subsystem of exercises for the development of writing abilities of future teachers of Mathematics.
