DESCRIPTION:At this meeting\, SENSE Ed will be welcoming a guest speaker: J
 ohn Harbord\, who is an academic writing advisor at the Faculty of Arts an
 d Social Sciences at Maastricht University. From 1998 to 2015\, he was dir
 ector of the Center for Academic Writing at Central European University\, 
 then located in Hungary. He has worked as a consultant helping to develop 
 writing support programmes\, training staff in the disciplines on using wr
 iting in their courses\, and advising university administrators and educat
 ion programmes in the Caucasus\, Central Asia\, the Balkans\, the Czech Re
 public\, and Turkey. His research interests include educational policy rel
 ating to language use and plagiarism\, and the adaptation of international
  models of writing support across borders.John describes the content of hi
 s presentation as follows.\nWhat makes writing support a success? How is i
 t possible to establish the support students need for a university educati
 on that develops crucial written communication skills\, and to persuade co
 lleagues in the disciplines and get the administration on board? In this t
 alk\, based on my own experience in Maastricht and as a consultant and edu
 cational advisor in various countries of the former Soviet Union\, I explo
 re the paths that can lead to the institutional centrality or marginalisat
 ion of writing\, and discuss what we can do and what we can’t to make stud
 ent acquisition of writing skills successful.\nJohn’s presentation will la
 st about half an hour\, after which there will be time for questions.\nThi
 s meetings is open to all registered SENSE members and will take place on 
 5 November from 16:00-17:00. Registration will close on 5 November at 9:00
 \, after which you will be mailed the Zoom link to the meeting. If you mis
 s the deadline\, please contact me directly for the link.I look forward to
  seeing you on 5 November.David Barick\,SENSE Ed Convener https://www.sens
