Designing Writing Assignments for Multilingual Student Success
Summary
This short, practical session offers tips & strategies for designing clear, concise writing assignments across the disciplines.
Description
丁香园AV student writers come from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and languages, and all of them, regardless of background or first language, are apprenticing to the language of their disciplines. However, it is worth considering that some multilingual writers may approach writing assignments with different cultural, educational, and linguistic perspectives which may differ from instructor expectations. This 30-minute, online, synchronous session focusses on practical strategies for writing clear and concise assignments that are accessible for multilingual students across disciplines. We will model ways in which you can offer scaffolded support to students to help them clearly understand assignment expectations as they work towards successful completion of your assignments, and will share resources and potential next steps for ongoing support.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session participants will be able to:
- Assess how familiar students are with expectations for writing assignments and revise those accordingly
- Reflect on the rhetorical norms of their discipline to help them create clear, transparent, and scaffolded writing assignments and associated grading rubrics with models that help multilingual learners find success
- Advise multilingual students to seek appropriate institutional resources for disciplinary writing skills development
This workshop can be customized for your faculty or your department. Please reach out to find out more.
