Writing Matters Discussion: Writing Across Borders
Wedesday,December 3, 2008 Presented by:
Do you struggle with how best
to teach writing to our international students and other
English language learners or how to respond to their
writing? The film Writing Across Borders encourages
us to ask the following questions:
How does culture play out in
writing, and how are our expectations shaped by cultural
preferences? How do we assess international student writing
when we have to grade it alongside the writing of native
speakers? And how can we think about surface errors in a
fair and constructive manner? What kinds of teaching and
testing practices disadvantage international students and
which help them improve as writers?
You are welcome to bring your
lunch and come view the 35 minute DVD and join the
discussion.
