The second session I led today was more co-leading, but it was the first session I've done with a non-ESL student and with a non-academic piece of writing. The piece was actually for a creative non-fiction class.
The consultant I worked with let me lead the session, but also added her own input and pointed out areas she had questions about. The client read the paper out loud and then we went back to make corrections. The other consultant and I first pointed out the strengths of her essay before moving to corrections. These corrections were to clarify both her language and her content, and she was very receptive to them. Most times I didn't specifically say what to do, but drew her attention to a certain area and explained what I thought didn't work so she could draw her own conclusions. If it was a difficult problem to explain, I made general suggestions about what needed to change and let her create the wording on her own.
The other consultant said that she thought my input was very helpful, so I was glad to have made a difference today :)
