Hi Everyone,
You are invited to be part of the discussion, A Student-Centered Approach to Teaching Skills for Writing Paragraphs and Essays, that our group is co-hosting from March 6 to 9. It will take place in the English Language Acquisition group. ESL and ABE students will benefit from what is shared during this important discussion.
Teaching writing is not easy! But instructors know that many adult English learners want and need to improve their writing skills to achieve their educational and career-related goals. Join David Kehe of Whatcom Community College for a robust online discussion on practical instructional strategies for teaching writing and how to provide effective feedback.
Look forward to reading your thoughts during the discussion,
