Research
interest
My research interests are manifold, but most dominant is the
interest in the subject Writing, especially in secondary education. The team of teachers
within the department of
Dutch in the secondary school where I taught, developed a rather balanced curriculum on
writing and 'oracy'. Later I got a chance to test this curriculum empirically. I am
interested in fundamental research as well in applied research. Fundamental are
studies in writing processes, individual differences and the relation between processes
and resulting text quality. More applied are studies in which we try to find effective
impulses for effective learning and teaching of writing, especially
argumentative texts. See for details below.
Other topics of interest are the teaching of literature, the
relation between learning foreign language skills and already existing mother tongue
skills, text book evaluation and
the relation between attitudes and skills.
