As critical writing center scholarship has made clear, this is an assimilationist practice that re-enacts colonialist views of English. This paper expands the writing center work to reflect on effective strategies for interrupting this assimilationist methodology in order to create the kind of change that prioritizes making it make sense (Demand). We suggest making sense--true sense of writing center practices--means dispelling the myth of the superiority of standardized English and occupying braver spaces to hold honest conversations about languages and effective writing. These honest conversations are grounded in a critical examination of what we know of effective writing and what has long been taken for granted about the role of writing support and assessment. In this paper, we recount a brief history of the writing center as an institution--and our specific positionality within this history--to provide context for how our practices create and sustain change. We share the pragmatic steps of 1) revising tutor education curriculum to focus on antiracist approaches to writing, 2) facilitating conversations with faculty about antiracist writing assessment strategies, and 3) continuing professional development of writing center student staff. The writing center’s role in this broader communal work is essential, we argue, and necessary for dismantling white language supremacy in the ways we teach, mentor, and assess writing.Item Risk For Poor Performance On A Language Screening Measure For Bilingual Preschoolers And Kindergarteners(2011-11) Pena, Elizabeth D.; Gillam, Ronald B.; Bedore, Lisa M.; Bohman, Thomas M.; Pena, Elizabeth D.; Bedore, Lisa M.; Bohman, Thomas M.Purpose: This study documents the risk for language impairment in Latino children who had different levels of exposure to English and Spanish. Method: A total of 1,029 preschool- and kindergarten-age children were screened in the domains of semantics and morphosyntax in both Spanish and English. Parent report was used to document current exposure to and use of Spanish and English, as well as year of first exposure to English. Risk for language impairment was compared for language group, year of first English exposure, age, and mother's education. Results: While bilingual children's scores on each subtest were significantly lower compared to their functional monolingual peers, they were no more likely to fall in the at-risk range based on a combination of all 4 subtests. Maternal education and year of first English exposure were weakly associated with risk for language impairment but not with language group (via 5 levels of first and second language exposure). Conclusions: Prevalence of risk for language impairment when both languages are tested is not related to language group.Item Studies in English, No. 1--English Elements in Jonson's Early Comedy(University of Texas at Austin, 1911-04-08) Baskervill, Charles ReadItem Studies in English, Number 11(University of Texas at Austin, 1931-09-01) The University of TexasItem Studies of Sanskirt Words(University of Texas at Austin, 1907-11-15) University of Texas at Austin
