I think I will use the minimalist approach when I have confident learners. I do not think I will use this method with ESL learners or persons with learning disabilities. I think the minimalist way may frustrate already frustrated writers even more. When I do use the minimalist technique, I will use it sparingly. I think it may be too strong for the average learner and then the whole purpose for the writing lab is defeated.
When a writer is a strong writer or has a strong personality, he or she will be able to take the badgering better than a shy or self-conscious person. For the less confident learners and most other students, I will take a more teacherly stance.
