ESL: Common Problems

Posted on February 3, 2005 by admin

E. Woods & D. P. Leibovitz (2005) ESL: Common Problems. Workshop presented to the “ESLA 1500: Intermediate English as a Second Language for Academic Purposes” class. Carleton University, pp. 1-3, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada [doi: 10.13140/RG.2.1.2617.1361] (plan, presentation)

Abstract: To encourage ESL students in their writing by showing them that many of the writing problems they experience are in fact experienced by many native writers as well. To collaborate with the students to come up with some solutions which may help them respond to these problems in future writing assignments. All of this should be interactive with very little ‘lecture style’ teaching.
