In this chapter, the concept of the PunktUm-Project (Bielefeld University, Germany), which assists international students in academic writing, will be presented. Based on a compilation of relevant research findings on L2 writing, a scheme that categorises the students’ individual problems analytically will be introduced. Then a practical example from a consultation sequence will demonstrate how extracurricular writing assistance can react to the individual writing difficulties and for which of these it can be used as an effective tool. All in all, this contribution argues for a combined programme of individual tutoring and workshops.
