Abstract
This thesis is a teacher-research case study assessing the effectiveness of an embedded writing center consultant in a nonnative English speaking classroom using a qualitative methodology with data collected from surveys, interviews, student writing samples, and field notes. The results show participants’ overall positive reaction to the embedded consultant program. The embedded consultant facilitated student learning and acted as a cultural informant in the class. The ways the NNES students talked about their writing (as modeled by the embedded consultant) proved to increase the quality of writing produced and a better understanding and engagement with the writing process. Following perspectives of the program from all case participants: students, embedded consultant, and instructor, the thesis concludes with recommendations for embedding a writing consultant in an NNES only classroom.
