However, little research has been carried out to examine the impact of writing centre tutor skill development programs to foster meaningful teaching and learning experiences for multilingual students. This qualitative study employed focus group research methods to gather the writing centre tutors’ shared perceptions of their skill development opportunities for working with multilingual students. Data were coded and analyzed using a thematic approach. Findings point to multilingual student expectations, tutoring challenges, program effectiveness, and program applicability as elements that impact the tutors’ overall impressions ofthe skill development opportunities they encountered. While there were still areas for improvement, implementing a program of skill development for working with multilingual students in a writing centre was generally beneficial for the tutors in this study.  \nLe nombre d’étudiants et d’étudiantes multilingues dont la langue maternelle ou principale est autre que l’anglais et qui ont besoin des services des centres d’écriture dans les universités canadiennes où la langue d’instruction est l’anglais augmente et il est important d’offrir à ces étudiants et à ces étudiantes des expériences d’enseignement et d’apprentissage efficaces durant leurs études postsecondaires. Toutefois, peu de recherches se sont penchées sur la question pour examiner l’impact des programmes de développement des compétences à l’intention des tuteurs des centres d’écriture qui favorisent des expériences d’enseignement et d’apprentissage enrichissantes pour les étudiants et les étudiantes multilingues. Cette étude qualitative a employé des méthodes de recherche par groupescibles pour assembler les perceptions partagées des tuteurs de centres d’écriture concernant leurs opportunités de développement des compétences pour travailler avec des étudiants et des étudiantes multilingues. Les données ont été encodées et analysées à l’aide d’une approche thématique.
