Writing Centers and Second Language Writers
Serving ESL Clients in the Writing Center by Call Number: JPL 3rd Floor: PE1128.A2 B37 2014ISBN: 9781500410650Publication Date: 2014Dr. Karen Braxley, the Coordinator for Writing Tutoring at the University of Georgia, in Athens, made the very sensible suggestion: "Rather than guess how much ESL students should sound like native speakers, we should ask them." I decided to do exactly that. I asked three questions as I looked at how ESL clients are being served in the Writing Center, and how we can improve the service they receive. I asked writing consultants how they view the needs of their ESL clients. I asked the clients how they view their own needs in the Writing Center. I then asked how the Writing Center can use their combined answers to find ways to better serve the needs of ESL clients. Based on the research, and especially on the comments provided by the clients, I propose two solutions that could be implemented in the Writing Center to improve the service that ESL clients receive.
