Teaching Global Writers in US Classrooms

This workshop will help faculty, writing assistants, and other professionals work more effectively with international students in U.S. classrooms by addressing some of the most significant challenges international students face when writing for American colleges and universities. The Writing Across the Curriculum team from the Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing will share insights from multilingual, global writers and their experiences writing in US classrooms, share some strategies to support writers in a range of classrooms, and give participants an opportunities to brainstorm strategies for their own classrooms.

After this workshop participants will be able to: 

• Identify potential ways in which multilingual and international students might come with a range of educational and linguistic experiences with writing.
• Plan writing assignments and activities that can make use of the linguistic and cultural experiences that students bring to the classroom.
