OER Publication: “Supporting English Language Learners in First-Year Composition”
A team of English and ESL faculty, Dr. Breana Bayraktar, Dr. Nataliya Schetchikova, Prof. Elaine George, Dr. Susan Givens, Prof. Cathy Megliola Gaiser and Prof. Kathleen Norman Callahan, are delighted to announce publication of an OER (open educational resources) textbook titled, “Supporting English Language Learners in First-Year Composition.” The text is organized around five key essays, selected to coordinate with the essay styles commonly taught in first-year/first-semester composition courses, and it contains text analysis, vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure exercises designed to support ELLs enrolled in first-year composition. The creation of the text was supported by an OER course development grant from VIVA (Virginia’s Academic Library Consortium).
We welcome your feedback!
