＂Welcome to Oklahoma＂： A Service-Learning Project in an Undergraduate Technical Writing Course
摘要
The present project provides information about a service-learning project in an undergraduate technical writing course assigned in the Fall Semester of2011 at a small public university in Oklahoma. Students in the course were assigned to ＂performance teams＂ and tasked with interviewing faculty advisors and officers of international student organizations on campus. Based upon the results of these interviews, the members of each team were asked to compose documents or deliver presentations that met the expressed needs of the student organizations. The assignment was designed to allow students an authentic experience in assessing the needs of a particular audience and in working with students from a different cultural group. The outcomes of the assignment and the challenges expressed by the students were discussed. The participation of students in the international student organizations was discussed in terms of university retention
