Abstract

This article explores the ways in which learning centers contribute to the development of Generation 1.5 students’ academic literacy beyond the classroom. Using specific examples of tutoring sessions and tutor training activities, the authors demonstrate how Generation 1.5 students can benefit from an articulated learning center pedagogy that promotes skill development, metacognitive awareness, and student autonomy.
