Both accompany the writer, first as readers and fellow writers, only later as critics. Because writers ask, they listen, and dialogues with responders become an inner dialogue that guides later writing and revision. But when teachers accompany writers, teaching CW becomes even more a negotiation of the personal because this teacher who is listener and mentor is also a model for some students of the writer and even the person they would like to become - and still the Authority who gives the grades UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781847694393 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781847694393 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781847694393/original ER -
