| Abstract: | This article contains an autobiographical literacy journey from primary school to college, focusing on the author's affection for reading, her dislike of writing, and the development of other literacy skills. Early childhood reading and writing practices are often regarded as merely a bloom rather than a development of writing abilities, which developed later in my life. The development of the author's writing skills was attained at an international college course in Thailand, where teachers and peers provided feedback. According to Lee (2017a), getting feedback from peers and teachers can help improve one's writing abilities. This is in line with the claims made by scholars (Hairston, 1986; Lee, 2017b) who believe that teachers' and peers' feedback can play a vital role in student writing that "serves a primarily summative purpose, and its productive potential is under-utilized.". (p. 60). The author noted that attending an international college not just helped improve her writing skills but also helped her develop her self-regard and intercultural understanding, which is referred to as "Cosmopolitan" (You, 2016). Being cosmopolitan involves expanding one's knowledge of other languages, cultures, and literacy. This essay tackles both personal and academic issues, revolving around the author's and the other scholars' experiences. The author has also used the opportunity to highlight the importance of feedback, citing various studies that show how important it is for writers to receive feedback. She hopes that her work will motivate and inspire others. |
