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 .
