Promoting the exchange of ideas in the one-to-one teaching of writing.
Subscriptions: $25-$30/yearAcross five issues per year and through numerous online resources, WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship promotes exchanges on challenges in tutoring theory and methodology, handling ESL issues, directing a writing center, training tutors, designing and expanding centers, and using tutorial theory and pedagogy.
"The articles in this WLN issue invite us to engage in re-thinking some perceptions that involve discarding long-held assumptions (Blake), reaffirming and expanding on results of previous research (Bleakney et al.), understanding the underlying but important implications of a standard practice (Bond), and engaging in helping writers overcome a common problem (Thoms)."
