For the Group Key Terms Document:

At the 1966 Dartmouth Conference, often referred to as the Dartmouth Seminar, leading British and American English instructors gathered to answer the question of "what is the study of English?" and debate the direction of English studies in the academy. The debate resulted in major pedagogic shifts, which forever changed writing instruction in the United States. The conference participants wanted to move away from a content-based pedagogy (emphasis on Grammar and structure) to a process-based pedagogy (expressivism and process composition). Herbert Muller writes that grammar instruction should not be the central emphasis in the English classroom. James Britton's expressivism appears at this conferences (e.g. writing can bring understanding, even understanding of self) and Wayne Booth's appearance is said to have been the origin for two dynamic foci in research: (1) composition as process; and (2) four emerging theories of invention (classical, Burkean, Rohman, and Pike). As a result, "Composition studies" was born. Some implications for composition are:

• The writing process can help students learn and learning can help the writing process;
• Assigning and grading writing is not enough; and
• Students should be supported with a composition process which includes generating ideas, reflection, planning and revising.
