Description
MG was interviewed as a subject expert because she has significant experience working one-on-one with English learners (ELs) and has a PhD in TESOL. Generally, she emphasized being positive when working with ELs, both in terms of finding something good about their writing to comment on and in the words used (“focus area” instead
of “error,” for instance). Specifically, she strongly suggested that writing tutors should have an understanding of language and how it works and that looking closely at model texts and
workshopping student texts were good ways to achieve this.
