Info

The Writing Lab Newsletter Archives (http://www.writinglabnewsletter.org/new/archives.php) This site includes the archived issues of The Writing Lab Newsletter (the current issue is only available through subscription). This newsletter focuses on the practices of writing centers with essays on tutoring theory and methodology, handling ESL issues, and using tutorial theory and pedagogy. Whether you are looking for quick tips, in-depth analysis, or more examples of actual writing center experiences, you will want to check out this site. The search box on this page makes finding specific information very easy, and chances are you will have large returns on your searches. You can search newsletters going all the back to 1976! International Writing Centers Association (http://writingcenters.org/) Being a part of a writing center, you may be interested in looking around this site sometime, but in the interest of giving you practical resources, I want to introduce you to two very helpful pages within this site. Resources for Writers (http://writingcenters.org/resources/resources-for-writers/) The International Writing Centers Association has put together a list of excellent writing resources from various universities and education professionals from all around the country. At this site you will find resources related to: • Starting Out • Organization • English as a Second Language • Language • Writing Style • Citation • Grammar and Usage • Reading Peer Tutoring (http://writingcenters.org/resources/peer-tutoring/) Because there are as many unique situations in tutoring sessions as there are unique students, exploring a page that keeps this in mind is comforting. In this site you will find peer tutoring blogs, manuals, videos, and a bibliography. 32 Specific Writing Assignments/Contexts • Abstracts • Annotated Bibliographies • Application Essays • Dissertations • Essay Exams • Group Writing • Literature Reviews • Poetry Explications • Scientific Research Reports Writing for Specific Fields • Anthropology • Art History • Communication Studies • Drama • History • Literature (Fiction) • Philosophy • Political Science • Religious Studies • Sciences • Sociology
The WAC Clearinghouse (http://wac.colostate.edu) This site is meant to be a resource for teachers who have some element of writing in their courses and since this is a very wide focus, the resources found here can also be useful to tutors and tutees. This site is home to a variety of open source, professional publications. Graduate tutors or teacher candidates may be interested in the WAC Clearinghouse Journals, which include, naming a few: • Across the Disciplines: exploring the intellectual, political, social, and technological complexity of language, learning, and academic writing. • The WAC Journal: Writing across the curriculum (WAC) educators exchanging WAC practices and theory. • The Journal of Basic Writing: articles on theory, research, and teaching practices related to basic writing. The Open-Access Books on the WAC Clearinghouse Web page might surprise you as well. Here you can find 38 books free to download or view, all devoted to academic writing. As a tutor, and really as a student as well, you will find that ‘open-access’ here does not mean these books are of lesser value. Here is a list of some of the series available now: • Perspectives on Writing: series editor, Susan H. McLeod, University of California Santa Barbara. • Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition: series editors, Charles Bazerman, University of California Santa Barbara; Anis Bawarshi, University of Washington; and Mary Jo Reiff, University of Tennessee- Knoxville. • NCTE on WAC: series editor, Mike Palmquist, Colorado State University. • Landmark Publications in Writing Studies: series editor, David R. Russell, Iowa State University.
