At the HUB Writing Center we know that writing expectations can differ quite a bit between cultures. Since that's the case, we asked SCU's international students to share how writing is taught differently in their home countries. We wanted to honor 2021's International Education Week (Nov. 15-19) and to help SCU faculty, students, and staff better understand how expectations about writing and the teaching of writing can vary between cultures. Our ultimate goal: find more ways to support SCU's international students by raising our collective campus awareness about how writing differs in various cultures and contexts. We collected responses anonymously and have chosen a few to share with the SCU community: What has surprised you about the writing you've been asked to do for your courses at SCU?
What would you like SCU students and professors to know about how writing was taught in your previous schooling in your home country?
