Armstrong tance of writing without errors, and discuss the process and result of a written work. The students are given ample time during the course to practice writing with precision, accuracy, and clarity of thought. The learners are monitored closely by the faculty, who guide them to successfully process their ideas. They practice writing through such tasks as narrating stories; drafting letters, emails, and reports; writing their resumes and curriculum vitae; writing book reports, reviews, personal stories, job applications, news reports, etc. The University of Madras has recently (July 2010) outsourced this program to a private educational company. As a University Coordinator for this program, I have control over what is taught. On behalf of the university, I prescribe the syllabus and monitor the company’s tutoring; University faculties evaluate the examination given by the company faculty. Thus far, the program has been successful, and I have received many positive responses from the students. PROPOSED/UNFULFILLED AMBITIONS IN REGARD TO STUDENT LITERACY/WRITING 1. Training in writing for M.Phil. and PhD students: The students enrolled in the Master of Philosophy (pre-doctoral degree) and PhD (doctoral) in various science, arts, and humanities courses at the University of Madras do not have a separate training program for writing skills, and their writing activity is limited to writing dissertations with the guidance of respective research supervisors. A program related to writing for these research students would be an ambitious venture for any member of faculty here, and efforts are being made to draft a program that combines purposeful and original writing with precise and orderly presentation. 2. Writing and translation: The Department of English is conceiving plans for a program for Writing and Translation in consultation with the authorities of the university and other volunteering members from affiliating colleges of the University of Madras. 3. Technical writing and content development: To prepare materials such as websites, user manuals, training manuals, reports, proposals, etc., there is a huge demand for technical writers in software companies, financial institutions, and many other organizations. UOM plans to conduct courses in the above program shortly for students across all disciplines, in collaboration with interested professional and educational institutions in India and abroad, particularly with a corporation in the US 4. Publishing: There is a lacuna in the publishing industry in India due to a shortage of copy editors, proof readers, etc. This area requires excellent 258
University of Madras (India) writing skills, error detection and correction skills, and reading comprehension. Opportunities are aplenty in Chennai itself. UOM in collaboration with leading publishing companies plans to launch a program on publishing in consultation with experts in the university and affiliating colleges. 5. Translation: this is an up-and-coming enterprise as part of the publishing industry. UOM has separate departments for Tamil literature, Tamil language, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and Sanskrit, as well as programs for French, Spanish, Italian and German. Efforts are being made to make translation an academic discipline. The faculty has given suggestions on how to accommodate translation into the relevant university curricula. 6. E-publishing: A combination of publishing and technical writing will be floated for the students of UOM in future to train them to enrich their occupational and professional skills. Writing practice related to E- publishing alone will be a focal point of this program. 7. Writing for the screen: Chennai, home of UOM, is known for production of films of international quality. There are opportunities for students to step into the movie industry if they master this form of writing at UOM. A proposal has been submitted to the Asian College of Journalism and the Tamil Nadu Film Institute in Chennai for a possible joint venture to float a course on Script Writing for the students of UOM and her affiliated colleges.
