À propos de cet e-book

This book provides insights into the development toward narrative competence, and illustrates multifaceted patterns in the developing capacity to create globally coherent narrative texts. The methodology draws from both a psycholinguistic approach to narrative development, systemic functional linguistics, and writing pedagogy theory. This book extends previous studies on narrative writing development since it provides a multifaceted window into the progression of narrative development, from elementary school through secondary school and university to life as a professional journalist and writer. It also shows how narrative writing development is related to the cognitive, emotional/psychological and social development of the individual.
