Language and Learning: two complementary approaches to enabling students to become well-read across the undergraduate curriculum
Christina Healey | Independent
This Workshop explores the application to the development of academic reading of two different disciplines which are often kept quite separate; namely linguistic analysis, particularly of those texts which students have to read during their academic studies and learning psychology, particularly related to specific differences (SpLD) in students’ participation in the reading process.
It will be valuable to anyone whose central focus is educational, learning or academic development, and to academic teaching staff who are looking for new ways of supporting their students at undergraduate level. Participants are not expected to have any detailed knowledge of either specialism in advance and info sheets (1 side of A4 each) will be provided.
