ENGL 299
Tutorial Practicum: Reading Lab
English 299, "Directed Reading and Research," provides an arena which "allows individual study of given authors or areas of special interest by arrangement with an instructor." (BC Catalog)
The Reading Lab section of English 299 requires that students work as tutors of other students. As part of this experience, tutors read and respond to articles, textbook excerpts, and Reading Lab materials. They watch theory at work as they learn how cognitive processes and instruction interact to help students learn how to read more successfully, no matter what the students' levels of ability.
Course Organization
Each week tutors focus on one major topic about tutoring, about learning theory, and/or about reading theory.
Each tutor must spend as many hours per week as the number of credits for which he/she has registered (3 credits = 3 hours per week). During some of these lab hours, tutors will meet with the lab director to discuss the experience of tutoring and to review completed assignments.
