Call for Conference Proposals
Teaching Academic Writing
across Europe
First Conference of EATAW: The European
Association for the Teaching of Academic
Writing
in cooperation with
First Conference of EWCA: The European
Writing Center Association
18-20 June 2001, Groningen, the Netherlands
Writing program administrators, writing centre staff, teachers,
researchers, and students with an interest in the teaching of
academic writing, are all welcome to participate in the first
EATAW conference, held in cooperation with the first EWCA
conference. This conference derives from some inspiring,
successful and pleasantly informal conferences that were first
organized in Germany for members of an emerging German
network (Erfurt, 1997, Bochum, 1999), as well as from a
gathering of forces and efforts on the part of Writing Centers
across Europe in co-operation with the NWCA (National
Writing Center Association). The resultant emerging networks of
teachers, consultants, and Writing Center personnel are now
expanding on a European level, through the formal establishment
of EATAW, EWCA, and the organization of their first
conference.
The aims of both newly-founded organizations and of the
conference is to create a forum for European colleagues, to
support a European development in the teaching of academic
writing, and to establish a supporting network of Writing Centers
developing and functioning within a European context. The
conference provides means for:
connecting with people and institutions from all European
Countries and contributing to the creation of a network
exchanging experiences and ‘best practice’ examples from
teaching and tutoring methods and strategies, as well as of
theoretical and organizational frameworks (for example
concerning writing and teaching writing in different writing
cultures)
providing a venue for teachers and researchers to interact and
bringing participants up-to-date on developments in the fields of
composition teaching and writing center tutoring in Europe
The conference marks the formal establishment of EATAW and
of EWCA with the ratification of their individual constitutions.
Conference themes:
‘best practice’ examples (rationale, practice and material) of:
teaching-the-teachers initiatives
general writing courses and subject-specific writing courses
on-line teaching of writing and computer-assisted writing
instruction
program establishment (models, politics, strategies, faculty
development) writing tutoring and counseling practice
writing center practices in relation to cultural contexts
the use of peer tutors in second-language contexts
American and European writing center practices: convergences
and divergences:
what we can gain from and teach one another
the role of writing centers within the institutional context (relation
to writing-across-the curriculum; contribution to institutional
mission, etc.)
approaches to the teaching of individual and co-operative
writing, and pedagogical strategies
academic genres and subgenres, writing conventions, academic
language, writing cultures and intercultural aspects of academic
writing instruction
writing and designing instructional materials for the teaching of
academic writing
researchers and therapists views on, for example:
cognitive styles of writers and teaching/individual tutoring
hypotheses on procrastination and blocking in academic writers
hypotheses on plagiarism in academic writing
The program will include keynote speakers as well as interactive
sessions to encourage participation and the exchange of ideas. The
organizing committee welcomes proposals for panel discussions and
round table sessions with both:
researchers and teachers discussing the relation between
theories/empirical findings and the practice of the teaching of writing, or
educational politicians, funding organizations and practitioners
discussing the financial, political and strategic possibilities for the
establishment of writing centres and writing programs in Europe.
Types of sessions:
Workshops (90 minutes)
Presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion)
Panel discussions and roundtable sessions (60 minutes)
Guidelines for proposals:
Proposals are invited from writing program and writing centre
staff, teachers, scholars, writing tutors and counselors,
researchers, teacher educators and curriculum specialists. Those
wishing to propose a session at the conference are requested to
submit a one-page proposal to the organising committee, stating:
who they are
their subject, approach, rationale and practice (with a focus on
the practice of their work, and with theoretical underpinnings
where possible)
the possible practical applicability of their contribution to the
teaching and/or tutoring of academic writing (contributions that
pose open questions and encourage discussions are preferred
above presentations of practice)
the form of the contribution: workshop, presentation, panel
discussion or roundtable session
Deadline for sending in proposals (in English and by e-mail):
November 30, 2000
Confirmation + provisional program will be issued in January
2001
Conference language: English
Location and lodgings:
The conference is to be held at the Faculty of Arts at the heart of
the old centre of Groningen, where a variety of hotels will be
available within walking distance. The Faculty of Arts is easily
reached by public transport (a 10 minutes walk from the train
station).
