Technology Project Technology Project Title: Multilingual Writers in the Writing Center.
Project Focus: I will explore the literature that relate to tutoring strategies to accommodate the needs of multilingual writers.
Learning Goals: I am interested to research this topic because I am really interested in the literacy practices of the writing center. In addition, this project will help me to enhance my tutoring skills as I am tutoring in the Writing Center. I am also hoping that this website will be used by current and future writing center tutors as a way visual source that helps to inspire their tutoring practices.
Technology Project Type: This website will lead to the creation of a website. This website will include videos that I will create.
Technology Project Components: I will provide a literature review, which will lead to a current gap. Then, I will look at three current theoretical propositions on how to accommodate the needs of multilingual writers. These theoretical proposition and empirical studies were authored by Alshreif & Alharthi (2016), Alshreif (2016), and Hauer (2016).
Technology Project Background Information: I am hoping that this website can be used by the Writing Center’s tutors in IUP as well as other universities as a visual resource that can be used to support their future tutoring practices. I am planning to include a section in which I will describe how specific tutoring course can be used to train tutors as how to operationalize specific theoretical perspectives while tutoring. I am hoping to provide specific lesson plans for these touting courses.
Technology Project Timeline: My project consists of three phases. I think I need a total of four weeks to finish the project.
