The term “voice” is generally linked to expressivist perspectives in the United States, but also to questions of style and individual emphasis: a student must find his or her voice, make this voice heard in his or her text, a voice constructed through his or her history. Texts with recognizable voices are often set in opposition to texts that are too dry or mechanical, too “academic.” This perspective is a subject of debate among scholars in composition theory, but is frequently evoked among composition teachers.
