This tutorial represents work done by Jack Miller and David Pates from Normandale Community College. Their work was made possible through a Center for Teaching and Learning Instructional Development Grant (this tutorial also contains additional resources not in the grant work).  

They took a fresh look at contemporary materials related to student/peer instruction for non-native speakers of English.  They looked at constructing a basic training module for EAP (English for Academic Purposes/ESL) tutors in particular, but it will also be helpful for all student tutors.  

Many of you may work teach in courses that are very diverse. CTL offers tutorials that deal with other elements of teaching diverse groups of students: Teaching in Racially Diverse Classrooms, Active Learning in Diverse Classrooms, and Building Respect for Diversity in the Classroom. Please take some time and explore these tutorials as well.
