Teaching Teachers To Teach By Teaching Readers To Read, Dawan Coombs
Teaching Teachers To Teach By Teaching Readers To Read, Dawan Coombs
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Struggling readers fill today’s secondary classrooms in alarming numbers. Although numerous programs remediate these readers, research shows students need more than strategy instruction to read successfully. Reading difficulties result from a complex combination of social, cognitive, and affective factors that can only be addressed through meaningful instruction within the context of trusting student-teacher relationships using approaches that draw on students’ interests and cultures.

Visualizing Intermedial Fairy Tales: Television, Film, Other Audiovisual Media, Jill Terry Rudy, Jarom Mcdonald
Journal of Undergraduate Research
This project has leveraged data processing and visualization methods that are becoming significant paradigms in digital humanities scholarship; specifically, we have repositioned the existing teleography of fairy tales on television from Channeling Wonder into a data corpus that can be mined and analyzed visually, spatially, and temporally.

Pre-Service Interdisciplinary Training In Autism Spectrum Disorders, Terisa P. Gabrielsen, Phd
Journal of Undergraduate Research
This project was designed to give mentoring experience to students across disciplines who were seeking additional knowledge and training in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participation in the project was intended to benefit students by giving them more knowledge within their field and across disciplines, helping future patients and clients with ASD and to enhance applications to specialty and graduate programs in related fields. Students produced a large (attendance=150) interdisciplinary training workshop for the community and developed a website collection of autism resources for clinicians and families.
Teacher Quality And Well-Being: A Q-Squared Analysis, Lisa Keovongsa, Macleans A. Geo-Jaja
Teacher Quality And Well-Being: A Q-Squared Analysis, Lisa Keovongsa, Macleans A. Geo-Jaja
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Literature review argues that teachers are the most important element in determining the quality of a national education system (Gopinathan 2006). While quality education is often defined in the narrower sense of measurable outcomes, teachers still play an equally significant role in achieving widespread quality through developing critical thinking skills and instilling the value of education. In the context of Cambodia, education appears at a deficit in consideration of the country’s high drop out rates and low percentages of passing graduation. With this in mind, I decided to examine Cambodian teacher quality and their perspectives on well-being as well as …

Cultural Celebration And Exchange In Mongolia: An Artistic Inquiry Of Community And Tradition, Sarah Waldron, Daniel T. Barney
Cultural Celebration And Exchange In Mongolia: An Artistic Inquiry Of Community And Tradition, Sarah Waldron, Daniel T. Barney
Journal of Undergraduate Research
After spending time in Switzerland with Mongolian immigrants back in 2012, I became interested in their culture and heritage. I attended several events with my Mongolian friends in Switzerland, most notably a cultural event in the summer time called Naadam, or what we describe in English as the festival of three manly sports. Although their customs and traditions differ from mine, I noticed that we share many common values. I recognized in these people a familiar sensitivity to areas such as: family, pilgrimage, community, language, spirituality, and service. All of these areas correspond with my ideas, and also those promoted …
Efl College Students’ Experiences And Attitudes Towards Teacher-Student Writing Conferences, Chun-Chun Yeh
Efl College Students’ Experiences And Attitudes Towards Teacher-Student Writing Conferences, Chun-Chun Yeh
Journal of Response to Writing
A substantial body of research has demonstrated the important role of providing feedback in students’ writing development. Among the various feedback methods, the teacher-student writing conference has often been rated by learners as the most beneficial to writing development, but research on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ perceptions of writing conferences is scant. Aiming to investigate students’ experiences and attitudes towards writing conferences, this study collected data through questionnaires and individual interviews with 34 EFL students from 2 college English writing classes. Findings suggested that the students held high expectations and gave high ratings on the helpfulness and …
Providing Sustained Support For Teachers And Students In The L2 Writing Classroom Using Writing Fellow Tutors, Katherine Daily O'Meara
Providing Sustained Support For Teachers And Students In The L2 Writing Classroom Using Writing Fellow Tutors, Katherine Daily O'Meara
Journal of Response to Writing
This study presents a piloted second language (L2) writing tutor (L2WT) internship program as a way to provide supplemental, sustained writing fellow- style support to L2 writers and classroom teachers in multilingual firstyear composition (FYC) courses in a large U.S. university within the span of one semester. The major facet of the internship program was the tutors’ response to student writing in a one-to-one context for each major essay assignment. The presence and needs of second language writing students in the writing classroom have been clearly articulated in relevant research, but what is less known is how to devise successful …
Compassionate Writing Response: Using Dialogic Feedback To Encourage Student Voice In The First-Year Composition Classroom, Tialitha Macklin
Compassionate Writing Response: Using Dialogic Feedback To Encourage Student Voice In The First-Year Composition Classroom, Tialitha Macklin
Journal of Response to Writing
In addition to other unfortunate circumstances, teacher response that comes in the form of negative, generic, and unintelligible commentary causes students to become alienated from writing. This problematic response often results from the lack of supportive student-centered response pedagogies within the first-year composition classroom. In an attempt to prevent additional writerly estrangement and to undo students’ isolation from the writing process, this article explores Marshall Rosenberg’s nonviolent communication theory as a potential framework for a dialogic, compassionate writing response pedagogy.

Review Of Esl Writers: A Guide For Writing Center Tutors (2nd Edition), Noel Bruening
Journal of Response to Writing
“English can be both amusing and treacherous,” notes Ben Rafoth, coeditor of ESL Writers: A Guide for Writing Center Tutors. Together with coeditor Shanti Bruce and dozens of other English, composition, and English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and academics, this book presents the enjoyment and obstacles that tutors and tutees face. The 16 chapters cover a variety of ESL students: international, Generation 1.5, graduates of U.S. high schools, and professionals. In addition, this guide “also discusses differences in tutoring styles in various settings—for instance, with undergrads, peers, grad students, and instructors— as well as variations” also lays out …
