Reimaging the Writing Course Post-COVID #1049

While all teaching is being reevaluated in light of the experiences of going online during COVID, this presentation will focus on the possibilities embedded in writing instruction. The workshop will discuss experiences with a 2nd-year writing course that was taught in multiple sections to students with varying levels of English ability and computer skills through two different learner management systems. We will discuss the problems faced and how they were managed as well as discuss a framework for conceptualizing writing instruction, tying this into current writing pedagogy discussions. While the process has been tailored to the quirks of the Japanese university system and Japanese students, I hope that the workshop format will allow us to collaborate and develop further ideas.
