The Writing Centre is closed for the fall term. We will open for the winter term in the week of January 9, 2012.

 

English Language Learning:

The Communication Cafe for multilingual students begins in the week of January 9. Develop oral and critical skills for your courses. To find out more, visit the English Language Learning Program webpages here.

The New College Writing Centre provides one-on-one instruction in the various forms of academic writing and oral presentations required in your courses. You can bring your work-in-progress from any course you are taking. Bring your work at any stage in its development, from brain-storming and planning to revising a draft.

We can help you learn to:

  • interpret assignments,
  • read texts critically,
  • take notes effectively,
  • form a strong thesis or research question,
  • develop your analysis,
  • construct a coherent argument,
  • organize your paper effectively,
  • use and document sources properly,
  • revise your drafts, and improve grammar and style.

We don’t “proof-read” papers for you; we will help you learn to identify and correct problems of grammar and syntax. (Remember to bring hard copies of documents; we can’t read from laptop screens.)

(Please note that we can’t look at admission/application letters or any supporting documents. For help with applications, see Resources)
