Second Language Writing at CCCC

Second Language Writing at CCCC: "AW.4. Placement Matters: Options and Implications in the Placement of Second-Language Writers in Composition Courses (Limit 30)
Wednesday, March 20, 1:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
As enrollment by international students increases in both two- and four-year institutions of higher education, an increasing number of composition professionals face the daunting task of placing second-language writers in composition classes that address their needs. Program administrators are charged with developing placement methods, and composition instructors face the challenges of identifying students who might benefit from an alternative course and addressing the needs of students who cannot be reassigned. The purpose of this half-day workshop, therefore, is to help composition administrators and instructors identify placement options and consider their implications."
