English departments across the country now recognize that "the claim that writing can enhance learning has been conflated with the claim that writing does enhance learning" (Leki 67), casting considerable doubt on the putative efficacy and necessity of the freshman composition course in post-secondary education. While many proponents of traditional pedagogy continue to support the idea of writing proficiency as a life skill whose development constitutes an...
