| Details | Recently writing centers are expanding to Asian university settings. However, not much research has been conducted on Asian Writing Centers. Therefore, this study aims to improve our understanding of the difficulties and expectations that Non-Native English speaker (NNES) tutors face when helping intermediate-level Japanese EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students with their writing. Through interviewing 8 tutors and conducting focus groups data showed that tutors experience five major challenges: miscommunication, student silence, mismatched expectations, interpretation of teacher feedback and error correction. |
