I was doing some research on writing center websites and I decided to go back to FIU's website. It was upgraded. Now it has more pictures, set dates for workshops. They are evidently trying to improve their writing center publication.
Anyway, I am in the process of producing some questions for an (hopeful) interview with the directors of different writing centers. I would like to observe their sessions. Once I finish up the draft of questions, I will post them in hopes that you will provide feedback.
So far I have been researching ESOL tutoring techniques. I have not found any information regarding using Spanish in sessions that are for writing in English. I want to continue to research methodology in ESOL so I can see if and how incorporating Spanish into the session will change the technique on a deeper level.

FYI: Jonathan lives in Ithaca.
ReplyDeleteKeep reading writing center-related articles about teaching/tutoring ESL students. Also, ask Alexis if she has any texts from her ESOL class that might help. The library probably has a few, too.
Oh, and look at bibliographies/works cited pages at the end of chapters in ESL Writers.
I think you should sign up for the wcenter mailing list where a lot of UWC directors blog about problems or issues they face.
ReplyDeleteYou could also interview them and I think many would be happy to. (ASk Dvorak or me for the site if you want)
