Writing Centre Pedagogy

Our credo:

Writing can be learned, like everything else

How?

Practice, practice, practice

And a little help from your friends:

How to get started?

How to develop ideas?

3 pieces of advice

Number One:

Write throughout your studies

Practice writing without a filter:

to learn, integrate & store knowledge

to generate ideas

raise questions

Value the importance of drafts

Number Two:

Talk about writing

Develop the capacity to talk about texts as text

E.g. structure

argumentation

organisation

style etc.

Number Three:

Design the Response you Need

Don't be afraid to share a draft

Ask for the response you need at this stage

E.g. What I need you to look at is my reasoning, argumentation, design

Not grammar etc .
