Methodologies | Description |
Workshop | The teacher acts as a mentor author, modeling writing techniques and conferring with students as they move through the writing process. Direct writing instruction takes place in the form of a mini-lesson at the beginning of each workshop and is followed by a minimum of 45 minutes of active writing time. Each workshop ends with a sharing of student work. |
Long answer / essay questions | These long answers should be FOCUSED: Your response should answer all parts of the question without a lot of random ideas which have little or nothing to do with the question. STRUCTURED: You know the answer to the question but your ability to communicate that knowledge to your professor depends on how well you structure your answer. DOCUMENTED: Contrary to the True/False or Multiple Choice Question, your essay answer must go beyond a simple statement of fact. WELL PRESENTED: Students who do not use the accepted rules of English are often tought to be less competent or knowledgeable than those who do. |
Completion exercises | These exercises involve selecting the best word or pair of words from a list to complete the sentence.In some other cases the students will have to rewrite the sentence in order to gain flexibility in the language. |
Seminar | Writing Seminars all focus on the skills necessary for effective critical reading and writing. Students, through practice and guidance, master essential strategies and techniques of academic inquiry and argument. |
Critical bibliographical | A critical bibliography is primarily a test of your critical appraisal skills: can you analyze the central concepts and arguments of the material, as well as summarize its content? |
Collaborative learning | Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. A group of students discussing a lecture or students from different schools working together over the Internet on a shared assignment are both examples of collaborative learning. |
