A step in the right direction: Tiered library instruction for ESL Writing classes at Murray State University

This presentation will describe the collaboration between the University Libraries and Writing Instructors for the English as a Second Language (ESL) program at Murray State University. A discussion between the groups about needs of ESL students and their level of language understanding resulted in a tiered approach to library research for ESL students. The 3-tiers prepare students for mainstream classes by introducing them to academic writing at an American university while building on a foundation of understanding of the research process and using academic databases to find reliable information.The presenters for this session represent both groups involved in the collaboration, a librarian and a writing instructor, who will address how the tiers were developed, the learning outcomes for each, and how the scaffolded approach learning has impacted the students’ ability to locate and use academic resources to improve their writing assignments
