简介：This mini-workshop will focus on a technique that you as a teacher can use to get a better sense of how your students’ L2 writing proficiency compares with that of native speakers. The approach, referred to as reformulation, can, if carried out effectively, provide a means for your students to improve their writing dramatically. The potential is there for them to take a quantum leap from where they are now to a more native-like level – one that is more consistent with the sociocultural norms for writing within the target language and cultural group.
