a) Diverse Academic
Literacy Practices in Higher Education: An exploration of different models of
academic literacies, as experienced by students
Victoria Mann (English Language Teaching Centre)
What is this about?
The session relates to students' acquisition of academic writing
skills, which are often considered to be a key component of achieving academic
success. Whilst this is traditionally translated as undertaking essay
based assignments, diverse tasks are often a feature in higher education, for
example creating posters or journal based reflective accounts. The
session considers the specific demands that diverse assignments make on
students and explores ways that tutors can support students in responding
to diversity of tasks.
How will colleagues
benefit?
The session will provide an opportunity for tutors to review
the diverse literacy practices that they employ and to discuss how to
support students to respond to diversity effectively. Additionally, it invites
tutors to consider the purpose for such diversity, for example, developing transferable
skills
