| Generating Student Connection |
Rhondda Waddell & Nancy Wood |
Many universities that have a high percentage of students coming unprepared academically, with lower incomes that have been hit hard by Covid, or have work or family responsibilities may be experiencing the cumulative toll of the pandemic demonstrated through emotional and physical overloads. Many factors come to play in response: enter the lack of basic needs, economic problems, lack of childcare, mental-health issues, cost of health care, and increase caring for sick family members. Let’s come together and hit the reset button, and envision what education needs to look like in response. |

| Using Peer Review with ESL Students |
Nataliya Glover |
This session aims to present the findings of the research conducted in ESL academic writing classroom regarding the role peer review plays in assisting ESL students to develop academic writing skills. While ESL students are still working on the development of their efficient writing skills, they might be underachieving in academic writing courses or any other content-based courses. Many scholars indicated that ESL academic writers are faced with a plethora of issues while developing academic writing skills; subsequently, these issues result in underachievement of ESL academic writers who are enrolled in conventional college-level academic courses. |
