Do you have students in your courses who might benefit from structured and dedicated time to work through their writing projects? Then please direct them to English 115, Writing Studio. These courses are 2 credits, meet two days a week, are offered at a variety of days and times, are small and low-stakes, and provide students with 2 W credits.
They are designed specifically for self-identified multilingual, multicultural, and/or international students who want to think through the language aspects of their writing, especially understanding complex texts, revision strategies, and ways to navigate cultural and linguistic differences. English 115 is an opportunity for students to strengthen their confidence and voice and learn how to build upon their existing language and cultural knowledge for academic purposes. It is specifically designed to offer a supportive and low-stakes environment that focuses on the linguistic aspects of writing by working closely with students to analyze academic texts, think critically about their language choices, effectively revise papers, and learn how to give and receive valuable feedback.
Students can find and register for English 115 through MyUW, or they can contact Amanda Steinberg (pwr-admin@uw.edu) to get an add code through Week 3 of the quarter.
