Welcome to the TU Writing Center

Dear All,

Here we announce the inauguration of the opening of the first ever writing center at Tribhuvan University.

Background:

Tribhuvan University’s Central Department of English is well known throughout the country and has international recognition as well. There are thousands of students enrolling yearly in the English department. We all know the background of the English department that till Bachelors level we don’t have to write papers and even at various Masters level program writing a term-paper writing was not mandatory till TU introduced semester system MA. No writing means the barring of the developing a student’s writing skills. As term paper has been introduced in the Masters level, the fresh undergraduate will be in confusion about everything about paper writing. Many a times it creates a serious problem in students and as well as frustration.

Paper writing deals with a lot of things that are it research topic, writing format or the way it is written and the way topic is researched. Certainly, teachers do help the students with this. Just to give more understanding of writing to the students, assisting them with the writing project there is the need of Writing Center at Tribhuvan University.

This is the first ever Writing Center established in Tribhuvan University by a group of MPHIL students and is a historical move that is dedicated and focused to the students, helping students to grow more in the field of writing.

 Concept of Writing Center

The Writing center will provide opportunities for Masters of English students to improve writing and thinking skills in their academic work. This would be voluntary “Peer Tutoring” at its beginning. The tutors at the Writing Center are the students of M.PHIL who have committed for volunteering for the fellow friends and students and are ready to help with writing in the disciplines.

The Center will provide assistance at all the stages of the composing process. Writing Center Peer Tutors will assist students the process, from finding a topic through drafting, revising, and final editing. The center will also be holding workshops regarding writing, discussions over books, poetries, fiction that is related to the literature and English.
