Extractions: University Writing Center, Cal Poly Pomona From Writing Center News Spring 2001 by John Edlund Many Cal Poly Pomona students are non-native speakers of English, who may speak English as a second, third, or even fourth language. Faculty often find students in their classes who seem to have a good understanding of the materials and concepts of the course, but produce written work that contains grammatical errors, odd syntax, and inappropriate word choices. How can we help these students become more fluent writers and speakers of English? How should we evaluate this written work? Non-native speakers have problems with features of the language that never trouble native-speakers. For example, until recently, most standard handbooks did not even address problems with articles or prepositions, because native-speakers rarely get them wrong. These are major problem areas for ESL students, however. Articles, which are part of a class of words called "determiners," are the little words "a," "an," and "the." Speakers of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian languages who are acquiring English tend to leave articles out entirely at first, and then gradually learn to add them, sometimes in the wrong places. The rules for article use are surprisingly complex and subtle, and there are so many exceptions that approaching articles through rules is impractical.

Extractions: The ever-increasing multilingual student population at Boise State, as at most colleges across the nation, is creating a wonderfully diverse atmosphere on campus. Alongside the virtues of a diverse campus, however, come some unique learning issues for these students and pedagogical issues for faculty. The national organization of college writing instructors, the Conference on College Composition and Communication, has addressed these issues in a position statement urging college personnel to "recognize the regular presence of second-language learners . . . , to understand their characteristics, and develop instructional and administrative practices that are sensitive to their linguistic and cultural needs." (See the full text of the CCCC position statement As a means of supporting and integrating non-native English speaking students into academic life, Boise State currently offers three programs:

Vol 31 No 3, July - September 1993 Page 38 Selfcorrection and rewriting has proven successful in both esl and EFL settings To help develop accuracy, we correct student errors, offer constructive http://exchanges.state.gov/forum/vols/vol31/no3/p38.htm
Extractions: After spending hours correcting student compositions, we are often disappointed when we return papers to our students, only to see them glance at their grade and tuck them away in a book or notebook. We may wonder what, if anything, they have learned from their work. In my years of teaching writing to intermediate and advanced learners of English as a second or foreign language, I have found that the use of a correction code to guide students in correcting their own errors makes writing more of a learning activity. Using the correction code does not make marking papers more efficient, but it does provide students with an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and to gain confidence in their ability to write. Sample Correction Code SYMBOL TYPE OF ERROR cap capitalization P punctuation SP spelling add a word optional number (singular or plural) SV subject-verb agreement VT verb tense VF verb form (gerund, participle, etc.
