Ortmeier-Hooper foregrounds the power of affect in the teaching of writing, and her pedagogy reflects the high value she places on student self-efficacy. Throughout this relatively slim book (how did she pack so much wisdom and practice into just 197 pages?), we come to know the ELL writers who participated in Ortmeier-Hooper’s research; she includes biographical sketches of each participant, thus illustrating the rich diversity that ELL students bring to their writing. This technique invests her scholarship with power and humanity.
Perhaps even more importantly, Ortmeier-Hooper explains her pedagogy with a sense of clarity and fluency rarely seen in scholarly discourse.

In addition to demystifying many of the hurdles of teaching writing to ELL students, Ortmeier-Hooper offers a wealth of practical strategies that will succeed in any writing class.
