About this book

This edited book brings together an international cast of contributors to examine how academic literacy is learned and mastered in different tertiary education settings around the world. Bringing to the fore the value of qualitative enquiry through ethnographic methods, the authors illustrate in-depth descriptions of genre knowledge and academic literacy development in first and second language writing. All of the data presented in the chapters are original, as well as innovative in the field in terms of content and scope, and thought-provoking regarding theoretical, methodological and educational approaches. The contributions are also representative of both novice and advanced academic writing experiences, providing further insights into different stages of academic literacy development throughout the career-span of a researcher. Set against the backdrop of internationalisation trends in Higher Education and the pressure on multilingual academics to publish their research outcomes in English, this volume will be of use to academics and practitioners interested in the fields of Languages for Academic Purposes, Applied Linguistics, Literacy Skills, Genre Analysis and Acquisition and Language Education.

Reviews

“This edited volume also draws on a diversity of international contexts (e.g. UK, Macedonia, France, Korea) to give the reader a picture of how academic literacies develop in various writing genres (e.g. writing assignments, writing MA/PhD thesis, writing for publication). … this is a very valuable, extremely rich book that can be of help to a diverse audience: policy makers, ERPP and EAP teachers, content and academic writing supervisors, and novice researchers.” (Baraa Khuder, ESP Today, Vol. 10 (1), January, 2022)
