Not for the Kids: Writing Support that Works for Adult Learners
Basic Writing eJournal
(2018)
Abstract
Resources developed with traditional students in mind rarely work as well for adult learners. Starting with the understanding that every writer struggles, we developed five non-course-based initiatives to support our adult student writers. As we describe and assess the impact of these initiatives, we also demonstrate the need for writing support focused on adult learners.
