ABSTRACT

Joan Conners, as Assistant Professor of English at Bay Community College in O‘ahu, shares Lillian Bridwell-Bowle’s concern, and she has  thus  designed  a  course  specifically  to  provide  a  solution.  Joan’s  English 215 course combines two main features-intensive networked written discussion and production of brochures, Web pages, and newsletters for community organizations. Both are designed to provide the kind of authentic communicative writing seldom found in the English classroom.
