The Regional Writing Centre came into being in 2007 with the goal of initiating and perpetuating a conversation on writing.
Our first symposium took place in the same year. Under the title "Research on Writing Practices: Consequences for the Teaching of Writing and Learner Outcomes", it featured a marked contrast between Ken Hyland鈥檚 English for Academic Purposes approach and the Rhetoric and Composition approach of Matthew Martin and Jonathan Worley, St. Mary鈥檚 University College, Belfast.
