Description:

Academic literacy is no longer considered a by-product of academic socialization but a complex set of skills that need to be developed actively. This book addresses the questions of how academic and professional writing skills can be fostered in our multilingual and multicultural societies and how these skills can be measured.

Synopsis:

Academic literacy used to be considered a complex set of skills that develop automatically as a by-product of academic socialization. Since the Bologna Reform with its shorter degree programmes, however, it has been realized that these skills need to be fostered actively. Simultaneously, writing skills development at all levels of education has been faced with the challenge of increasingly multilingual and multicultural groups of pupils and students. This book addresses the questions of how both academic and professional writing skills can be fostered under these conditions and how the development of writing skills can be measured.
