In the last 15 to 20 years, writing centers have placed greater
importance on tutor training, focusing on teaching tutors best
practices in fostering student writers' engagement and writing
skills. Writing Center Talk over Time explores the importance of
writing center talk and demonstrates the efficacy of tutor
training. The book uses corpus-driven analysis and discourse
analysis to examine the changes in writing center talk over time to
provide a baseline understanding of the very heart of writing
center work: the talk that unfolds between tutors and student
writers. It is this talk that, at its best, motivates student
writers to continue to improve their writing and scaffolds their
learning and that makes tutors proud of the service that they
provide. The methods and analysis of this study are intended to
inform other researchers so that they may conduct further research
into the efficacy of writing center talk.
