Writing Programs Events

Welcome to the 2012 Arizona State University Composition Conference website to be held on Saturday March 3, 2012, at the Tempe Campus. This conference is an excellent opportunity for those who teach composition to gather and exchange ideas and methods for improving classroom instruction. 

Join us for a day of learning and professional conversation. Four concurrent sessions: Practical ideas for teaching composition and ESL. Click here to see the Program Schedule.

The focus of Writing Programs Spring 2012 Convocation will be the "Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing," a document which describes the skills and "habits of mind" needed to be a successful college writer.
