ESL STUDENTS IN WRITING CLASSROOMS
Keywords:
English as a second language, English language teaching, Composition classroom, culture, international studentsAbstract
The research was done so as to disclose some of the recurring problems that teachers inevitably anticipate in the writing classroom, especially regarding the overall complexity of the ESL issue. My main research goal is to penetrate into the ESL matter to demonstrate the causes of misunderstanding between the teacher and ESL students in the writing classroom. Due to a variety of factors involved, I will argue that the whole set of learning conditions need to be taken into account
