Teaching Writing in Higher Education, 2001
Teaching Writing in Higher Education (26-27 March 2001)
Writing of all kinds, from science reports to creative writing, is increasingly being taught as a distinct subject at British universities. A significant issue in this emerging field is the role that creative approaches can play in the teaching of academic writing. The Warwick Writing Programme's two-day conference aims to take stock of recent debates and current practice in the UK and other countries.
