ITPF-006:

Enhancing Student Academic Literacy

This module will introduce faculty members to strategies to help students improve their academic literacy in college level courses. It will provide participants with a set of practical strategies to engage their students in reading, vocabulary and writing. Through discussion and hands-on sessions, participants will work to integrate those strategies into their teaching. This module also encourages participants to reflect on best practices of teaching and learning in a second language context.

Audience: This module is limited to 12 faculty participants. The target audience are those who teach content courses and who would like to be introduced to more strategies to enhance student academic literacy in reading, vocabulary and writing. Faculty with prior knowledge and/or background in language teaching may register their interest and can participate if space is available. Thank you.
