Abstract / Description

With current moves to widen participation, a more diverse student body is entering higher education. 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.
