Abstract
Writing Across the Curriculum is alive and well in the US, as Thaiss and Porter (2010) report in their 2005–2008 survey of WAC programs. This fact is not only reflected by the longevity of these programs but also by the growing and varied research in this area (Thaiss and Porter 2010). This survey, coupled with an earlier one conducted by McLeod and Shirley in 1987, once again shows that WAC is one of the most successful educational movements in the US (Russell 2002).
