Developing academic literacy : a discipline-based approach

Warren, Digby (2003) Developing academic literacy : a discipline-based approach. Investigations in university teaching and learning, 1 (1). pp. 46-51. ISSN 1740-5106

Abstract

In this context, a key challenge is assisting learners to develop academic literacy, so as to enable their deeper engagement with university study. This entails making transparent to students the knowledge-making and communicative practices of the subject area, hence the discipline-based approach to developing academic literacy advocated here.
