Tutoring ESL Students: Issues and Options
Muriel Harris and Tony Silva
Writing & Rhetoric
Harris and Silva consider how writing tutors can respond to the needs of writers using an additional language.
Information Summary:
Harris and Silva's discussion of tutoring multilingual writers connects writing-center practice with second-language writing pedagogy. The work raises practical questions about conferencing, feedback, language development, revision, and the distinction between helping a writer learn and simply correcting a text.
Academic / Professional Context:
Writing conferences can distinguish ideas, organization, language conventions, and assignment expectations instead of focusing only on corrections.
Pedagogical Integration:
Writing pedagogy; multilingual learners; feedback
