Desirable writing group practices to build a sense of community to promote desirable feedback

Abstract

Desirable writing group practices to build a sense of community to promote desirable feedback A writing group meeting gives students the opportunity to give and receive oral feedback from each other in a harmonious learning environment. From research conducted on participating students in the USA as part of a postdoctoral research project funded by Estonian Research Council PUTJD1121, this instructional artefact gives instructor and student guidance on how to conduct synchronous writing group meetings to build a sense of writing community to obtain desirable feedback. The guide contains three sections: (i) Facilitator guidelines, (ii) student guidelines, and (iii) instructions for a reflective group workshop to improve writing group practices.
