Abstract	The United States involvement in the Middle East has been prominent in our recent national history, sometimes clouded by myths and misrepresentations of the people of that region of the world. This article details the experiences of teacher-researchers working with teachers and students in Amman, Jordan, to develop powerful English writing workshops. Through their interactions, the authors' discovered how writing can bring people together, essentially diminishing the space between cultures. They describe what the vibrant students of Amman have taught them about the teaching of writing to second language learners. (Contains 1 figure.) (As Provided).
