ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors sketch an approach to communication across the curriculum (CAC) oriented toward inquiry-guided learning. They describes how the Campus Writing and Speaking Program (CWSP) at NCSU supports inquiry-guided learning by helping faculty to infuse language activities into their courses in new and creative ways. Another inquiry-based use of informal writing and speaking, however, supports the development of formal papers and presentations. Like many similar programs around the country, the Campus Writing and Speaking Program at NCSU supports the goal of improving students’ abilities to write and speak effectively. In the middle of the continuum are strategies that are still done quickly—usually overnight, without revision or rehearsal. In its support of the IGL initiative on the NCSU campus, the Campus Writing and Speaking Program has been blessed with faculty and administrators in other programs who are passionate about collaboration.
