The Writing Conference

Dear all,

After I read this article, I know about the differences between conference method and written comment. I agree with the conference method because it help the students to improve their writing more than written comments like the way of Ajarn Karnchanoke' s teaching. Because the students can pratice their writing throughout the writing process such as prewriting, writing, and rewriting.

The conference method is the way of writing which help the students to pratice their writing by improving several drafts. These things have many advantages to develop the ability and skill of the students. However, the written comment is the good way of writing as well because it is the basic of writing which most students must to learn about writing.

Finally, both the conference method and the written comment have the significances which will conduct between the teachers and the students about the writing.

The Writing Conference: A One-to-One conversation

Yes, The conference method is useful, becuase it is a talking about the draft between the student and the teacher . The problems about writing are vanished, If the teacher participates in the writing process of the student. The conference is the method that easier and efficient to solve the complex problem than teacher's comment written on the draft. The student can knows what is the teacher want from discussion more than comment writing.

For my class, I guess that the writing conference is a method done after the peer review. If It's true, I will happy. After I recieved commemts from my friend, I have many problems becuase the feedbacks are variety and conflict. I need and appreciate the teacher's help.

Furthermore, I have other problems discussed in the conference, becuase I will present in the second draft.

The writing Conference

Dear all,

I agree with Khun Nit that the writing conference is useful for both teachers and students.

According to the article, the writer clearly inform about the conference teacher’s role (p.111). These suggest the teacher to develop their student’s writing. Moreover, the writer emphasizes that “[t]he teacher should read the paper carefully (p.111).” I agree with Carnicelli (1980) and realize it’s important.

As for the students, the writing conference is valuable because this help them improve their writing as revision. It let them know and understand about the error.

Furthermore, the writer says this method is use in general and popular at present.

The Writing Conference

I really agree with the writing conference because some written comments are not clear for us (students), especially they are English language as we are not English native speakers. Also written comments are important as Carnicelli said that "[written comments] are more permanent than oral comments..." (p.109).

In this paper, The Writing Conference, there is only teacher's role, not student's role. Anyway, the writer explain it well. I think it is good for students but it is a task for teachers, isn't it?

I do believe that writing conference are useful for both teacher and students to make everything clearier and not misunderstood.
