ARED 1713 | Fostering Academic Literacies

While academic reading and writing can be challenging even for the most experienced researchers, the highly specialized discourses of our disciplines can be particularly mystifying and intimidating for emerging researchers. This class covers principles and strategies for supporting mentees’ academic literacies, and encourages mentors to recognize and value language diversity. During the live class meeting, we will use case studies to explore issues in the development of mentees’ academic literacies.

At the conclusion of this class, you should be able to:

• Develop methods of providing effective feedback on researcher writing
• Connect mentees with on-campus resources for research writing
• Identify considerations/implications of mentorship in academic reading and writing for diverse mentees

A digital certificate will be emailed upon completetion of the program.
