Myers vs. Others

Myers is unique compared to scholars like Brooks, North, Bruffee, and Cooper. Myers talks about ESL students who need somewhat different help than other students. While most scholars believe the writing center should be more focused on ideas and theses rather than syntax and spelling, Myers believes a different approach should be taken with ESL students. She thinks that if we ignore these "simple" problems, the ESL students would never learn from their mistakes. Most ESL students don't even realize they are making mistakes because the translation into english from their language could be very different.
