The Excelsior OWL (Excelsior Online Writing Lab) has been providing support in academic writing to students, teachers, and faculty all over the globe since 2012. We are excited to announce that the entire OWL will also be available in Spanish during Spring 2022. A free and open OER resource, the OWL will support Spanish-speaking writers who are making the transition to American English-speaking classrooms.
The Excelsior OWL walks students through the basics of academic writing, in everything from grammar to APA, MLA, and Chicago style guides, by providing clear, easy-to-follow explanations in text, self-paced, interactive lessons and tutorials, and video content. Now, thanks to Excelsior College’s Adelante! program, The Excelsior OWL will also be available in Spanish. A free OER, the Spanish OWL will be accessible to students from all over the world and will offer detailed, easy-to-follow text, innovative video, and interactive lessons, as they hone their skills in writing in Standard American academic English. This resource does not exist anywhere else. We are proud to provide this cutting-edge, accessible, and free resource to our own students as well as to anyone who may benefit from it.
