SLP in Academic Literacies in Research Supervision

Purpose

This short learning programme will provide participants with both theoretical insights into and practical activities in the development of academic literacy for postgraduate students. Beginning with a consideration of the linguistic challenges confronting students, it will then link disciplinary practices and values to various writing conventions before moving to specific research-related topics. Participants will be required to provide practical examples of student writing from their own environments and will also be provided with practical activities linked to each of the topics covered.
