Do we have different expectations of second-language and first-language writers? Should we? How does the written presence of a different linguistic background shape our reactions to the writing ? particularly if that presence takes the form of surface errors? How do we address the needs of the second-language writers in our classrooms?
Please join Mark McTague, instructor in the English Language Center, Jennifer Mott-Smith, English Department coordinator of ESL programs, and Carol Pippen, director of the ESL Writing Lab, for a discussion of “How Important Is Error?: Writing and the Non-Native Writer,” Friday, April 11, 1:00 ? 3:00 pm. in Li 208
