dc.description.abstractThis thesis is a close look at how English Learner writing students negotiate the complex position in which they find themselves in the American university, specifically in reference to common editing practices. That is, because the language skills of English Learners are often devalued their position in the class and thus their positions in editing practices are also devalued. This thesis attempts to explain why this devaluation occurs as well as account for how students recognize and respond to that devaluation. I also give advice on how to counteract this devaluation.
