AI-generated Abstract
The paper critiques the state of composition studies, arguing that the field has neglected classical argumentation and rhetoric, leading to disconnection from broader societal issues and student needs. It cites historical perspectives from scholars like Wendy Bishop and Gary Olson, emphasizing the necessity of re-centering rhetoric in composition instruction to enhance its relevance and engagement with real-world challenges. The work ultimately advocates for a more pragmatic approach to teaching composition that aligns with contemporary socio-economic realities.
