"The central goal of the 写作中心 is to provide individualized, 协作, and self-paced learning opportunities for students at Los Angeles Valley College. The heart of any writing center activity consists of dialogue about texts: those that a student has written or those she or he is reading. 无论哪种情况, the center provides a place for students to develop a sense of audience, the externalizing of a given text that often cannot be accomplished in a classroom setting alone."

—Deborah L. 哈林顿，英语教授

"写作中心s do not and should not repeat the classroom experience and are not there to compensate for poor teaching, 拥挤不堪的教室, or lack of time for overburdened instructors to confer adequately with their students. Instead, 写作中心提供了另一种, very crucial aspect of what writers need—tutorial interaction. 与导师会面时, writers gain kinds of knowledge about their writing and about themselves that are not possible in other institutionalized settings..."

—Muriel Harris, College English, 1995

"Nearly everyone who writes likes—and needs—to talk about his or her writing, preferably to someone who will really listen, 谁知道如何倾听, and knows how to talk about writing too. 也许在一个完美的世界里, all writers would have their own ready auditor—a teacher, a classmate, a roommate, an editor—who would not only listen but draw them out, ask them questions they would not think to ask themselves. A writing center is an institutional response to this need. Clearly writing centers can never hope to satisfy this need themselves; on my campus alone, the student-to-tutor ratio would be about a thousand to one. 写作中心s are simply one manifestation—polished and highly visible—of a dialogue about writing that is central to higher education."

—Stephen North, "The Idea of a 写作中心"
