Critical Approaches to Teaching Writing: Mindfulness and the power of "no"

Saturday, June 7th, 2008, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Marlen Harrison

As "World Englishes" continue to dominate discussions of writing pedagogy, instructors ponder acceptable uses/performances of written language. In this lively discussion, we'll use Thich Nhat Han's Mindfulness Trainings as inspiration to consider L2 writing instruction and assessment, correcting student writing, and our identities as instructors.
