Abstract
This paper reports a survey of the ways in which resources are committed to the improvement of student writing in the U.S.A., Canada and Australia. The findings are reported in terms of a model offering five levels of resource commitment ranging from zero, which implies no specific resource commitment, to the level at which an institution‐wide teaching policy is implemented. The practical implications of each level are considered and the paper concludes with a brief discussion of the relevance of each approach to current concerns about the quality of student writing.Keywords
