English Department Internal Events

For the first meeting of the semester, we are partnering with BTW to hear from Jin Pennell, faculty in ESL Writing, to hear about working with international students on sources (paraphrasing, integrating, synthesizing). 

Develop strategies for helping international students strengthen their research-based writing skills, including effective source integration and appropriate use of sample texts
