Synopsis

This text provides a quick, basic introduction to the essentials of peer tutoring. Study questions, questions for research projects, and exercises at the end of each chapter help prepare readers for the challenges they will face in the tutoring environment. This title is one of THE WADSWORTH GUIDES TO COMPOSITION STUDIES a new series designed to help upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students gain a historical, theoretical, and practical context for their studies in composition and the teaching of writing. Each guide in this series examines a particular aspect of the composition specialist's work; for example, teaching first-year composition, administration-related issues, and writing as it is taught across campus. Providing theoretical information within a practical context, each guide is designed to provide the historical knowledge and terminology that beginning students in the field need to understand.
