Item The effects of peer feedback on second and foreign language writing development(2014-08) Ko, Hyuk; Pulido, Diana C.Process approaches to writing are widely used in various second language teaching contexts, and many teachers and researchers are trying to find more efficient and meaningful ways to help students to improve their writing skills. Especially in the revision process, students can get help from teacher feedback, so they can have more opportunities to improve their drafts. In a class of 30 students, however, it is very difficult for a teacher to provide timely feedback to all students. The quality and the amount of teacher feedback can fall off due to time constraints and the number of students' drafts. If it is used effectively, a great help to a teacher of a writing class, then is peer feedback. Peer feedback can provide such other benefits as a sense of audience and ownership, more meaningful collaborative learning, and student awareness of the strengths and weaknesses in their drafts. The following report discusses the nature of peer feedback in writing and illustrates the effects of such feedback on students' perspectives about the revision process. The report also traces impact of providing and receiving different types of feedback. It shows us the unique features of paper-and-pencil and computer-mediated peer feedback, and highlights the important points in linguistic and extra linguistic elements observed in peer feedback.Item Words into worlds(2020-07-17) Raker, Cecelia Anne; Engelman, Liz; Lynn, KirkThis thesis will articulate the ways I use words to build worlds, channeling my love of lyrical language into sustainable craft practices by mapping out a cycle of tools I use in making my work. I will investigate how my own experiences of conflict and code-switching teach me to pay attention to language as a basis for story and character. Using examples from my plays Bog Butter and Webbed Hands and my opera Good Country (with cameos by the other work I’ve made during graduate school), I will chart how the meanings and physicalities of language can teach us the values, tensions, and potential stories latent in a fictional world. I’ll examine how I’ve used these insights in generative writing and in the revision process. And I will marvel at how clarifying my relationship to trauma and language has helped me more confidently trust myself as an artist and as a human
