<![CDATA[Bracewell attends summer seminar for Composition Research]]>27887 Dr. Bracewell refined a study design of tutoring sessions with English Language Learners (ELL) to test the hypothesis that using gestures to accompany explanations of writing concepts is more effective than not employing gestural cues. This research is based on an initial pilot study, presented at the Southeastern Writing Centers Conference in February 2014. Dr. Bracewell and an English Language Institute Tutor, Melissa Aberle-Grasse, are planning to implement the new, quasi-experimental study in Fall 2014, pending approval from the Institutional Review Board. Upon successful completion of this study, Dr. Bracewell and Ms. Aberle-Grasse intend to publish the results as a journal article.]]> Peter Fontaine114079589692014-08-13 19:42:4915403858752018-10-24 12:57:5500newsDr. Joy Bracewell, Assistant Director of the Communication Center, attended the 2014 Summer Seminar for Composition Research, “Data-Driven Inquiry: Process, Methods, Results,” at Dartmouth College from July 27-August 9.

Could you present yours in three minutes?
Since 2015, Georgia Tech's Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition has helped graduate students hone their communication skills by challenging them to share their research in three minutes in a way anyone could understand.
This workshop, conducted in the Communication Center, will focus on polishing your 3MT presentation, particularly on refining and/or rehearsing your talk and on creating an effective slide for the competition.
This is the second of four workshops that will be offered in September and early October to help graduate students develop their Three Minute Thesis presentations. Note that this particular workshop topic will be offered again as the fourth workshop in the series (on Oct. 9). (The preliminaries will be held in October, and the final round will occur in November.)
For more information about the other workshops, dates, requirements, and other details, visit grad.gatech.edu/3MT.

The mission of the DBC is to provide time, space, and resources for PhD students to encourage completion of the dissertation process, specifically to help participants
make progress in the writing portion of their dissertations (includes proposals or journal articles that will later be used as dissertation chapters),
learn how to set reasonable goals for writing ... and how to meet those goals,
stay focused on writing and avoid other distractions (such as social media, television, other research, etc.)
This boot camp will take place during finals week (May 2nd-6th) in the Communication Center. PhD students participating in the boot camp will be expected to write from 9am until 5pm, with scheduled breaks and reflective sessions at the beginning and end of each day. Communication Center staff will be available throughout this week for half-hour tutoring sessions, which we will use to help students overcome writing problems that are inhibiting their progress. However, while we are offering tutoring, we will not be editing the students' work.
This opportunity is for PhD students who
have completed enough of their research that they can focus on writing throughout the week,
can and will participate in the entirety of the boot camp, and
may need to take advantage of an opportunity like this to overcome writer's block or a writing slump.
To be considered for the DBC, please complete this application form by 5pm on April 22nd and send it to commlab@gatech.edu or drop it off at the Communication Center in Clough 447.
