Strand 3: Developing Academic Literacies

A: Academic Writing, Rhetoric and Persuasive Writing

Ai: Identify appropriate terminology, use of language and academic idiom in your discipline.

The ANCIL Strand 3 Resource for Supervisors from Dr. Helen Webster can be used to support development of a student's academic writing.
