Research Abstract

As part of the research we visited writing centers in the US, Asia, and Japan and conducted research on various themes to better understand students' experiences and needs when using a writing center, and developed a network of writing center administrators based in Japan and Asia. Throughout our research we disseminated our findings both through conference presentations and academic publications. Finally, we created a handbook and homepage that provides information on what a writing center is, gives guidelines on how to create and manage a writing center, and includes a list of helpful resources.
