Abstract
Presenters: Jessie Cannady & Murray Johnson (Language Centre)
Key words: Writing centres, Learning culture, Specialised support
As XJTLU celebrates its first 10 years, we imagine the possibilities for future decades. The inception of a Writing Centre, as an extension of Continuing Support, is a fortuitous new addition to our institution. Writing Centres play an integral role in the culture of academic learning as places that foster the development of necessary skills beyond a student’s degree programme, such as critical thinking, self-discovery and reflection. As a fledgling team, the XJTLU Writing Centre seeks to determine the needs of departments and students in their written work, to publicise these services throughout XJTLU, to provide specialised support, and to integrate within the larger university community.This session will introduce the goals of the XJTLU Writing Centre and seek to ascertain the requirements and expectations of the academic staff.
