  • What Constitutes Effective Tutoring on Scripts and Oral Presentations? Report from the Waseda Writing Center

    Diletta Fabiani, Marta Soler Alemany

    STUDIES IN SELF-ACCESS LEARNING JOURNAL   8 ( 4 ) 334 - 353  2017.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    While speeches and oral presentations are categorized as being oral communication, they also have a written component. Therefore, how can Writing Center tutors give effective feedback on such materials? By looking at the tutors' experiences at one Writing Center in Japan, this paper aims to explore how tutors give feedback on presentations, and what could be improved in dealing with such texts. By analyzing writers' 'Welcome Sheets', tutors' comments and notes, as well as a session transcript, we discovered that tutors are more focused on achieving structural, logical, content and grammar goals during the sessions. They tend not to give feedback on the presentation script, or the coherence and content of additional material such as slides, that we also consider relevant written matter. Hence, this paper suggests that while focusing on High Order Concerns (such as structure and content) must be the priority, tutors should also address issues related to timing, the usefulness of visual support and its integration with the presentation flow and script. For this reason, specific training for tutors on presentations is needed.
