Empowering Global Writers: Fostering Inclusive Learning Environment Through an Asset-Based Approach

Students bring a wide variety of knowledge and experiences about language and writing to their learning, and instructors might find it difficult to account for the range of experiences in their classroom. How can instructors differentiate teaching to meet the needs of students with different levels of linguistic, cultural, and academic diversity? How can they assess student learning in an equitable way that takes into account the different backgrounds and experiences of students? How can they create a classroom climate that is welcoming and inclusive for every student?

This workshop is designed for faculty and/or GTAs who are committed to supporting multilingual writers to thrive and excel in academic writing. Participants will develop an understanding of the assets that multilingual writers bring to the classroom and explore inclusive strategies to establish a learning environment that fosters active knowledge acquisition and cultural exchange among students.
