SESSION:
Enriching Learning, Saving Time: Designing Effective Writing Assignments
Teaching students to write in a second language is particularly demanding due to the need to provide out-of-class support, respond to drafts, and grade papers. In this presentation, teachers learn how to cope with these time demands while simultaneously maximizing their students’ learning. Participants will be challenged to apply at least two of the discussed recommendations to revise or design a writing assignment for their students.
