The Proposed Writing Center Mission Statement
The proposed Writing Center is dedicated providing students with a supportive,
collaborative space in which they can experiment with and improve their writing in
English.
Our goal is to promote the concept of World Englishes by providing tutors and learners
with strategies and tools that help them take ownership of English and discover their own
voices in their writing.
We aim to provide tutors and teachers with the approaches necessary to combat
preconceived notions about L2 learners capabilities in written and spoken English, and
to provide them with the knowledge they need to effectively make use of available
resources, both for use during their time at our school and into their future uses of
English. We aspire to help learners solidify the specific writing and speaking
(presentation) skills that will benefit our learners most when they return to their home
countries or proceed to schools and businesses in English-specific contexts.
We strive to continuously improve our practices by drawing on the session reflections of
our tutors and the feedback we receive from the writers who visit us. We acknowledge
the cultural diversity of our learners and value their input as we strive to make our center
a place where all learners can feel respected.
