Writing
at Wesleyan: The Writing Workshop, 279 Court Street, Room
102, 685-2440
Many students need short-and long-term assistance in
acquiring writing skills that are appropriate for
Wesleyan. The Writing Workshop has a staff of writing
tutors who will work with you individually at any stage
of your writing assignments ranging from generating,
discussing, and developing ideas; editing a draft of an
assignment; and reviewing your professor's comments.
Special individual tutorials are offered to students
who speak English as a second language (ESL) and for
students with learning disabilities. In addition to
support for ESL students, writing tutors are assigned to
some of the courses that emphasize writing.
English as a
Second Language
The staff of the Writing Workshop can help you if you
want to edit your course papers or gain informal practice
in English conversation. Call any time during the
semester to make an appointment to meet with a tutor, or
use the workshop's drop-in hours in the Public Affairs
Center. The workshop also provides semester-long,
full-credit ESL tutorials adapted to each student's
needs. While the workshops do not offer courses that are
designated as ESL courses, it does offer writing classes
that are particularly appropriate for bilingual or ESL
students. These writing classes are taught by the Writing
Program's ESL Program Director/Coordinator of
International Students Academic Advisor and are included in the English
Department's course listings. For more information on these and
other academic support and services for international students, please
contact the International Student Advisor.
