Report on the UMPSA-HU Writing Center Collaboration

UMPSA-HU 5-day Collaborative Online Webinar and UNITYINK Face-to-face Collaborative Workshop
Hiroshima University Writing Center (HU WRC) successfully held the first series of collaborative events with The Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), including the collaborative online webinar , the visit of UMPSA delegates to HU, and the follow-up workshop at HU WRC.
 
Between September 11th and 15th , UMPSA Center for Modern Languages and HU WRC held the five-day online webinar "Empowering Learners Worldwide". This webinar covered topics in English for Academic Purposes associated with Abstract writing, Literature Review writing, mixed research method, oral presentation and beyond.
 
Following this five-day online webinar, the UMPSA team has visited the HU WRC between October 1st and 5th. The UMPSA and the HU WRC have successfully held the following-up “UNITYINK” Face-to-face collaborative workshop on October 2nd, 3rd and 4th , at Library Hall, Hiroshima University Central Library. Undergraduates, postgraduates, and faculty members from HU joined the workshop for a journey into the world of academic writing with the talented and dedicated delegates from UMPSA's Center for Modern languages. The workshop provided activities to help researchers enhance their knowledge about abstract writing, presentation skills, and participants had opportunities to rehearse their research presentations in the workshop.
 
HU WRC would like to express our gratitude for the insights and experiences generously shared by the UMPSA scholars in both the webinar and the workshop. These first series collaborative events have set up a significant foundation for UMPSA and HU to expand collaborative topics in the future and to enhance the inter-university cooperation in a wider range of teaching and research areas. We also want to acknowledge HU WRC faculties, staff and postgraduate tutors who actively participated in and generously supported both the webinar and the workshop.
 
HU WRC will continue the collaboration with UMPSA in the future. We believe that the exchange of teaching and research resources between institutions will effectively broaden the learning vision for students and faculties on both sides.
