The Writing Tutor will establish a Writing Clinic for undergraduate students in five schools within the College of Arts and Law during the 2011-12 session
This will involve setting up a focused provision to include a limited
number of student workshops, provision of one-to-one student support and
the development of on-line resources. All of the activity will be
focused on improving argumentation and linguistic accuracy using, for
example, the Writing Process synopsis. The post holder will need
experience of teaching English for academic purposes at University
level. The Writing Tutor will be paid on an hourly basis (£28.67 per
hour) for approximately 450 hours over roughly a 9 month period.
The tutor will need to work with colleagues to evaluate the success of
the Clinic so that further funding can be sought if the project is
successful. Informal inquiries can be made to the College Director of
Education, Professor Steve Ellis -
