The Writing Centre is a dynamic skills-based unit within the Language Development Group (LDG) in CHED, created to provide a walk -in, one-on-one consultancy service for students from all faculties, and all academic levels of the university.
Often poor writing is a result of poor understanding of the task, the concepts involved, or the form the writing should take. Writing thus plays a central role in constructing understanding and is a mode of learning integral to student development. Utilising individual consultations, the Writing Centre identifies and analyses the language and learning difficulties in student writing and provides feedback to departmental staff.
The Writing Centre and the LDG contribute to the Centre for Higher Education Development's goals of:
- research-led development;
- widening access;
- promoting excellence through equity;
- ensuring the provision of key abilities in graduates;
- developing the curriculum in partnership with faculties.
