Abstract
Motivated by a need to provide WPAs-in-training with more practice and experience-oriented resources for supporting second language writers, this article shares a case study module in which students strategically respond to a hypothetical conflict related to grammar instruction and linguistic diversity. Specifically, we provide background information (including relevant scholarly references), a hypothetical scenario, implementation guidelines, and two sample responses to the conflict from experienced WPAs, all of which can be used for WPA preparation or professional growth. We frame the case study through our discussions of the activity’s educational goals, our reflections on our own responses to the case study, and a rationale for the value of adopting a case study approach to WPA training.
