Teaching/writing in thirdspaces : the studio approach
"Teaching/Writing in Thirdspaces: The Studio Approach examines a dynamic method of teaching composition that reimagines not only the physical space in which writing and learning occur but also the place occupied by composition in the power structure of universities and colleges." "The studio model emphasizes individual participation in a small group that allows students to present work they are preparing for outside classes, discuss their challenges, and refine their ideas with other students and staff facilitators." "Rhonda C. Grego and Nancy S. Thompson argue that because the studio is physically and institutionally "outside but alongside" both students' other coursework and the hierarchy of the institution, it represents a "thirdspace," a unique position in which to effect institutional change. Teaching/Writing in Thirdspaces provides an alternative approach to traditional basic writing courses that can be adopted in educational institutions of all types and at all levels."--Jacket
