Something I am really focused on in my observations is how language differences affect students in the writing center, and how the tutors can effectively fill that gap.
Since research is still being conducted on writing center methods for L2 students, I thought it made more sense to merge both of my previous ideas to create a more effective paper. Now I can not only focus on methods, but I can also focus on the difference between what ESL students learn to communicate in English (language functionality), and what is necessary to successfully write in an academic setting....
The data I will continue to collect will be tutor methods used for NNS, linguistic ideas and terms, and how students generally translate the spoken language learned in ESL courses to written material.
To be continued.......
