Conclusion. 330 $aWriting centers in universities and colleges aim to help student writers develop practices that will make them better writers in the long term and that will improve their draft papers in the short term. The tutors who work in writing centers accomplish such goals through one-to-one talk about writing. This book analyzes the aboutness of writing center talk--what tutors and student writers talk about when they come together to talk about writing. By combining corpus-driven analysis to provide a quantitative, microlevel view of the subject matter and sociocultural discourse analysis to provide a qualitative macrolevel view of tutor-student writer interactions, it further establishes how these two research methods operate together to produce a robust and rigorous analysis of spoken discourse. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in rhetoric and communication ;$v30. 606 $aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$xEvaluation 606 $aEnglish language$xComposition and exercises (Higher)$xEvaluation 606 $aWriting centers 606 $aTutors and tutoring 606 $aTeacher-student relationships 606 $aResource programs (Education) 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$xEvaluation. 615 0$aEnglish language$xComposition and exercises (Higher)$xEvaluation. 615 0$aWriting centers. 615 0$aTutors and tutoring. 615 0$aTeacher-student relationships. 615 0$aResource programs (Education) 676 $a808/.042071173 700 $aMackiewicz$b Jo.$0934459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151715403321 996 $aThe aboutness of writing center talk$92104341 997 $aUNINA
