Collaboration with Writing Centers

The AWC HSE successfully completed an international collaborative project supported by RELO (Regional English Language Office of the US Embassy).

The project attracted 15 colleagues from 9 cities and 11 universities of Russia:

• HSE University (campuses in Moscow and St. Petersburg)

• Samara University

• Kazan Federal University

• New Economic School

• RANEPA

• Tumen State University

• Northern (Arctic) Federal University

• Novosibirsk State Technical University

• ITMO

• South Ural State University

• Irkutsk State University

Participants discussed how to organize writers’ retreat at the university effectively, how to review texts from different disciplines, and how to give useful feedback.

This is what the participants say:

• “The general atmosphere of professional guidelines provided by Talinn Phillips combined with the manner of presenting in-depth data in a clear and logical manner deserves the highest possible merit.”
• “The course was extremely useful and immensely insightful.”
• “It was of an enormous benefit, and this benefit is sure to be long-term as well. I now have a much better understanding of the rationale behind my own writing course for MA students. Thank you so much!”

We would like to thank the trainers Talinn Phillips and Svetlana Suchkova for their valuable input.

You can still take part in the online Writers’ Retreat 2022 that will take place on December 16-18. Register until December 9 here.
