dc.description.abstract [EN] This article describes a tradition of Anglophone North American higher education (HE) researchconcerning the role of writing in learning and development. The research tradition is associated with aforty-year-old education reform movement called Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) or Writing in theDisciplines (WID). The movement encourages teachers in different disciplines to become interested intheir students’ writingand to improve their writing and their disciplinary education (formation) throughwriting. The research on WAC/WID uses methods familiar in educational research (and to a lesser extentapplied linguistics) to understand the roles writing plays in disciplinary work and disciplinary formation,often in relation to writing in other institutions (business, government, etc.).The foregrounding ofwriting in WAC/WID has reveled six structural, institutional contradictions in US HE: 1) writing astransversal versus writing as specialized; 2) genre conceived as a container of content--aform/contentdualism--versus genre conceivedas social action; 3) writing as a means of assessing learning of contentversus writing as a tool of intellectual / professional / personal development; 4) writing for a socialmotive of schooling (epistemic) versus a social motive of work (pragmatic); 5)the masters or doctoralthesis as a last educational hurdle versus a first professional performance; 6) and (teaching) writing forsocial/disciplinary reproduction versus (teaching) writing for social/disciplinary change. es_ES
