Ready to find out what 密歇根州立大学丹佛 can do for you? 皇冠官网网站会帮你的.
At the 密歇根州立大学丹佛 写作中心, we believe all writers have the right to speak and write in their own version of English. 经常, students who grow up speaking an English that does not align with “Standard Academic English” are penalized for not conforming to such standards.
Whatever version of English our students grow up speaking is valuable and should be respected. This idea also applies to multilingual students who may have grown up speaking different versions of English, such as pidgin English or a hybrid, and those who did not learn English until later in life and therefore “write with an accent.”
While we recognize that their writing can, 有时, 难以阅读, we like to discern the difference between unclear writing and readers who are distracted by what they perceive to be “errors” in their writing.
We are always willing to support professors and faculty who are interested in learning more about how they can support students who are learning English. Here are some resources to get you started.
