Addressing the Needs of Generation 1.5 Writers in your Classroom
This workshop will explore practical activities and approaches that allow Generation 1.5 (immigrant) students to develop organization, detail and cognitive skills in their academic writing. Grammar-for-writing and some other special challenges these students face will be discussed, and participants will receive a list of online resources for teaching Generation 1.5.
