I think I’m going to do my research study over international students and their writing experiences as children. The writing practices of different languages and cultures—I’m guessing—are different those of the United States. I want to hold a focus group of international students and have them talk about how they learned to write in their respective country. I think that I study like this could help with how consultants at the writing center assist international students in writing papers. Maybe some students are used to a more indirective approach to writing and others respond more to a directive approach. This could be reflective of the cultures of each student, as well.
A few research questions could be:
How do the writing practices of international students differ from those of US citizen students?
Do writing practices differ among people from different countries/cultures?
