Al DeCiccio Presented "Multilingual Tutoring: Using Mandarin and other home languages"
Jul 2, 2024
Al DeCiccio presented on June 12 at the University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland, for the meeting of the European Writing Centers Association
In the presentation, DeCiccio described four practices for tutoring multilingual writers: positive politeness, invitational rhetoric, co-inquiry, and translanguaging. Following scholar Michelle Crow, DeCiccio argued that these practices work most favorably when tutors can use the multilingual writer's home language to complete a writing task in an academic institution such as SSU.
