Teaching and Learning Forum (Global Version) Twelfth Session:Developing Student Engagement in the Writing Classroom
Dr. Ryan Thorpe, an American instructor, initially taught his SJTU writing classes as he had at an American university, believing these methods were key to his success. However, over ten years, he recognized the need to adapt his teaching approach due to shifts in the student population, realizing that a more flexible toolkit of strategies was necessary to cater to different assignments.
In this talk, Dr. Thorpe will reflect on his twenty-year evolution as a writing instructor, showing how he has developed a diverse set of teaching methods to accommodate various academic writing tasks. Ultimately, writing is a skill requiring practice, but the context, motivation, preparation, and feedback to that practice can drastically change the course of a student’s learning.
