<TD vAlign=top>I agree with you Tony. Far too often it feels like academe prescribes learning systems that fit neatly in a box, allowing little creative diversity both from the perspective of the student and the teacher. Not that any of the systems descibed in the book are not effective (I have used a couple myself when tutoring), but people can learn how to write in any number of ways (some not so concrete). In addition, as I have experienced first hand in the short time that I've worked at the writing center, ESL students bring another element to the equation of writing (learning to write in different ways because of culture, etc.), and how many of us try to teach writing.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 10/6/09, anthony eid <I><anthonyeid1986@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:<BR>

<DIV id=yiv1118818667>I didn't like how the author prescribed specific methods to specific learners. I think it would have worked better to vaguely allude to the learners and not display them connected so concretely. For me, it is not learners but situations that guide my sessions. Students are multi-faceted bundles of writing history. Once you uncover one method that works to one issue that same issue may pop up and the method you used may be ineffective. <BR><BR>
