Well I´m still figuring out what Iwant to do for my research paper, but I´m still thinking a lot on working in the empathy and confidence issues, as I read in one of my classmates blog th getting to know talk is really important to break the ice with the writers and that I think will decide the failure or the success of the session!
Last wensday in my first session something happened to me that called my attension, at the beggining of the session Dr. Chandler was sitting with us helping both me and the writer to establish some goals, but when Dr. Chandler left the cubicle the writer took out some paper and told me that she didn´t wanted her to see them because she was also a teacher. that incident make me realized that confidence in the tutor will help the writer accomplish thier goals easier.
I have some articles tat Dr Chandler send me and article called What are the differences?: Tutor interactions with first- and second-language writers and I think that is a very intresting topic to work on.
I´m collecting my data of the writers by writing after each session in a special notebook, everything that happened in the session. I have had 2 sessions the first one was with a spanic lady and the second one was with a native english speaker and both session were so different I didn´t feel as confident with the second writer as I felt with the first one and all the problem was the empathy, and the language barrier.
Well I will continue working on the main idea of my research see all at class tonight!
