17.2 Language and Learning in the Writing Center Title Card

Praxis 17.2: Language and Learning in the Writing Center is here!

May 26, 2020 by Praxis Admin

We here at Praxis are so proud and happy to present you all with our Spring 2020 issue!

17.2: Language & Learning in the Writing Center

As always, you can read the whole issue in PDF and individual articles here on our website.

The Spring 2020 semester has been an unprecedented one in many ways, on all of our campuses. We are so grateful for the hard work of our reviewers, copy-editors, authors, and the staff of the University Writing Center at UT-Austin and UT Library Services who have made it possible to continue publishing, even in these times. All of us are in the midst of uncertainty and change in our workplaces, as are the students we serve. We here at Praxis are glad to be among such good company as we navigate those changes, and we hope we can be a part of continuing the conversations about them.

We will be back this summer, both with our Summer 2020 issue and a new series of Axis blog posts, so stay tuned and stay safe!

Building With Someone

“Upon learning about the nuances of scaffolding, I immediately associated this tool with a term that I and others are familiar with at Stateville: “building with someone.” I am not sure where this term is derived from, but it is commonly used when cellmates bond or engage in conversations to get to know each other better. I have discovered that being a Writing Advisor depends on the ability to communicate or converse effectively.”

We here at Praxis hope this post finds you all safe and well. After the University of Texas’s extended spring break, we will return next week with new Axis posts, our continued rolling submission cycle, and preparations for our Spring issue.
