Abstract
One of the main challenges involved in developing and running writing centres in tertiary contexts in South Africa is the recognition of the role that writing centres need to play in the redress of basic academic literacy competencies. Related to this is the complexity of providing access to academic and disciplinary discourses through making explicit how texts work in a critical manner. This paper examines these key challenges, focusing in particular on the Writing Centre at the University of Cape Town.
