Wilkinson, Stephen (2008) Optimizing teaching and learning through the use of feedback on written assignments in history. Investigations in university teaching and learning, 5 (1). pp. 30-35. ISSN 1740-5106
This paper explores the development of student literacy, which involves more than merely acquiring surface language skills and becoming orientated within the university - but requires the deeper 'academic literacies' approach (Mary Lea and Brian Street (1998)). This views student writing at the level of epistemology and identities, implying a need to recognise the subjective experience of students and the effects on their self-image/esteem of having to master the linguistic conventions that they are required to employ across disciplines and modules.
