Calhoon-Dillahunt, Carolyn; Forrest, Dodie – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2013
As writing instructors, the authors spend hours "talking back" to their students through written comments on their drafts. But how do student writers receive their comments, and what do they "do" with this feedback? Teachers invest so much time and energy in their responses to papers. How do they know what gets through, what makes sense to their…

Mack, Nancy – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2013
Many teachers have had a favorable response to their experimentation with digital feedback on students' writing. Students much preferred a simpler system of highlighting and commenting in color.

In 1986, Paul Friedman and Reva Jenkins-Friedman introduced "Fostering Academic Excellence through Honors Programs" by warning readers that "One might assume that the brightest college undergraduates feel well served during their years on campus and that procedures for educating them are common knowledge."

Andelora, Jeffrey T. – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2013
In the author's fifteen years as a subscriber to "TETYC," he has yet to read an article as alarming as Keith Kroll's "The End of the Community College English Profession." His argument that neoliberalism--a political ideology and set of economic policies that look to the free market and privatization for answers to questions great and small--is…

Moe, Peter Wayne – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2013
"Teaching English in the Two-Year College's" series "What Works for Me" is a unique artifact in the development of composition as a field.

Mueller's "Views from a Distance: A Nephological Model of the…

Seessel, Jessica – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2013
For many writing teachers, helping students discover, explore, refine and, most importantly, inhabit their "voices" is both the teachers' greatest challenge and pleasure. Voice, they tell them, is what their writing "sounds" like when someone reads it; it is their personality on the page; it is the writer "speaking" to the reader. But what happens…

Ellis, Rod – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2012
The author has worked as a language teacher, teacher educator, and second language acquisition (SLA) researcher for over forty years. During this time grammar has figured largely in his thinking, in part because it has traditionally been so central to language pedagogy and in part because he became fascinated with how the human mind grapples with…

Quinn, Janet M. – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2012
Contrastive rhetoric studies the writing of second language learners to understand how it is affected by their first language and culture.

Friesen, Helen Lepp – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2012
To writing, painting, drawing, and photography as artistic media, the author would like to add teaching as a creative endeavor as well. Especially in a classroom where English is not the first language for many students, the writing teacher needs to be creative with assignments and activities that address nontraditional ways of learning. Her…
