NextText addresses the problems students have transitioning into the critical thinking, reading, and writing required for academic work. Anne Kress and Suellyn Winkle, both at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Florida, carefully researched the skills required in disciplines across the university and developed NextText to teach students those skills. Every chapter in NextText offers students a rich range of readings from the informal magazine article to the researched academic essay. Students are encouraged to make connections between and among the multiple voices, genres, and disciplines represented in every chapter. NextText: Making Connections Across and Beyond the Disciplines prepares students for academic success in the composition course, and beyond.
"I think the choices of issues really brilliant because students should be able to identify and connect with them but also place their own experiences and ideas within the much larger framework provided by academic discourse. I think the whole approach should help students situate themselves within the ‘academic conversation’ and help them make that shift into independent, critical thought." — Susan Topping, Three Rivers Community College
