ABSTRACT

We, as community college English teachers, have the opportunity to empower students who have been subjected to years of top-down, teacher-directed education. We have the obligation to make them critical thinkers, improving their chances of being thoughtful and successful adults. It all begins with the way we teach writing and the respect we have for our students – and scholarship-as valued parts of the writing class.

在社区学院教授作文时倾听我们的学生

摘要

作为社区大学的英语教师，我们有机会为那些接受了多年自上而下的教师指导教育的学生赋能。我们有义务让他们成为批判性思考者，提高他们成为深思熟虑和成功成年人的机会。这一切都始于我们教授写作的方式以及我们对学生的尊重——以及奖学金——写作课的重要组成部分。
