EN 180 - Intro to Tutoring Roundtable

Institution:

Millikin University

Subject:

English

Description:

The course aims to provide students with theoretical and experiential grounding in peer tutoring of writing, allowing them to move from the traditional role of instructed subjects to more dynamic role as peer tutors and collaborators. Throughout the course our concerns will be practical as well as pedgogical. We begin by exmining the philosophy of the Writing Center and how that fits into the theoretical/pedgogical approaches to peer tutoring, and move into practice, focusing on interpersonal dynamics, audience adaptation, and collaborative learning. Students will engage in active sharing and development of tutoring styles, skills, and stratigies, investigate writing in the disciplines, and engage in self-reflection concerning the practice of peer tutoring. This course will be combination of discussion, lecture, reflection, group work, and totor presentations which will allow us the opportunities to share, analyze and critique as well as connect theory and pedagogy to real world tutoring experiences.
