Jennie Roloff Rothman - Sponsored by Yokohama Chapter
Peer feedback is crucial for managing group dynamics, empowering
effective writing and developing learner autonomy. By reflecting on the
writing process and peer work, learners can improve their own writing
skills while supporting that same development in their classmates. This
support helps create a safe, mutually beneficial environment-a community
of writers-where learning can flourish. This workshop introduces tools
for fostering autonomy in writing and participants will have the
opportunity to evaluate them in discussions. The workshop will conclude
with participants reflecting on the applicability of the materials to
their own contexts and sharing their own ideas for promoting peer
feedback in the writing classroom.
