Description
Offers fresh perspectives on academic and disciplinary literacies across a range of contexts. This book presents empirical evidence of the academic and disciplinary literacies that learners engage in in educational contexts. The chapters focus on the languages of schooling (in first, second or foreign language contexts) across primary, secondary and higher education. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section focuses on students’ voices and perceptions, providing new insights into the difficulties they encounter when developing academic or disciplinary literacies in different contexts and disciplines. The second section addresses students’ academic or disciplinary literacy skills, both productive and receptive. The chapters include qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method studies, and provide valuable new insights across a range of educational contexts.
