Many international students in American universities are required to take writing courses in English as a second language (ESL) before participating in a mainstream first-year composition (FYC) course.

Perkins, Tanya – Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology, 2019
In the writing classroom, collaborative learning often takes the form of coauthoring, peer workshops, or critique sessions. While these are useful, what other active-learning approaches might be effective, particularly in light of the range of media with which students are increasingly familiar?

Kwak, Subeom – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2017
Since it was first introduced in 2008, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been attracting a lot of interest.

As a result, much uncertainty still exists about the…

Hubert, Michael D. – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2014
Approaches to foreign language (FL) instruction have changed a great deal in the past fifty years, the most fundamental change being the shift from a focus solely on language form to a focus on communicative competence (CC).

Reilly, John Leonard – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Mutuality practice in the composition classroom attempts to create equal subject positions between teachers and students, mitigating the effects of dominant power structures inherent to an authority-driven classroom while showing teachers that their students are fully capable, though fledgling, members of an academic community.
