Technology for the Process

Teaching Academic Writing to Multilingual Students in the Age of AI

M. Sidury Christiansen and Qian Du

University of Michigan Press, 2027

As digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) reshape how writing is taught and learned, instructors face new questions about how to integrate technology without losing sight of sound pedagogy. Technology for the Process offers a research-informed and practice-driven response. Written by experienced writing teachers, the book presents ready-to-use, adaptable, classroom-tested approaches for teaching academic writing to multilingual students through purposeful use of digital tools, including generative AI. Rather than treating technology as an add-on or a substitute for instruction, the book shows how it can meaningfully support writing as a process: from generating ideas and revising drafts to making rhetorical decisions and developing academic voice. Designed for university-level and adult learning contexts, this book serves as both a practical resource and a thoughtful guide for educators, librarians, and institutions seeking accessible, effective, and sustainable approaches to writing instruction in the age of AI.
