Academic literacy for education students is an accessible textbook which teaches reading and writing skills, particularly within the academic environment. The book will equip students to use a range of linguistic practices that they will need for their education studies, with a view to entering the teaching profession. Rather than studying skills separately and in isolation, they will understand the relevance of literacy practices and develop a variety of communicative
practices, including different text types, genres and disciplines.

Zielgruppe

First-year undergraduate students who are completing an academic literacy module for a B. Ed degree at universities.
