ABSTRACT

Teaching students a new language proves to come along with plenty of challenges, especially when dealing with a diversified society. Dr Khan teaches Writing 1002, which entails helping students using English as a second language for academic purposes. Despite having well highlighted objectives and multiple sections, the course entails readings that are compulsory for students to read but neither provides an explanation to the students on the importance of reading nor how reading skills relates with writing and thinking skills that are at the core of the course. To solve this, the instructor should focus on reading motivation to language learners as a solution.
