Working with student writers

More about the book

This anthology on tutoring and teaching writing is designed to provide a combination of practical and theoretical knowledge for undergraduate writing tutors, graduate teaching assistants, or student teachers. Offering hands-on practical advice for the new tutor/teacher, it simultaneously emphasizes the crucial interplay of theory and practice. Unlike many similar collections of essays, Working With Student Writers is comprised of pieces authored by peer tutors themselves; thus the book highlights specific issues that arise when tutors and novice teachers actually attempt to practice their craft. Overall, the essays reflect the developing knowledge in the field of composition during the past two decades.
