  1. ESL Tutorials

  2. Identifiable Issues • Dropped/Missing Articles • Punctuation Errors • Breakdown in Sentence Structure

  3. Order Concerns • Higher : • Coherency • Structured Argument • Supporting Evidence • Audience • Lower: • Sentence Structure • Grammar

  4. What to focus on… • The overall rhetorical structure of the student’s argument. • If the student insists on grammatical help, meet the student halfway by addressing some of the higher-level concerns first and, after resolving some of those issues, begin to address the lower-level concerns.

  5. Commenting • With ESL students, be as clear and concise with comments as possible. • Try to stay away from coding when possible. Provide a full description of errors made rather than relying on error abbreviations.

  6. Suggestions for Additional Help • Reading aloud • Helps familiarize student with English • Helps catch errors

  7. Handouts • At the front, the University Writing Center (UWC) has two different binders full of helpful handouts that tutors are free to use and give to their appointments.

  8. Extra Assistance • All ESL or ESOL students are allotted one-hour appointments in the UWC, if desired. • If you identify an ESL student through recognizable errors in his/her writing, feel free to inform the student of his/her ability to receive more time.
