• Sommario/riassunto: Writing in the Disciplines examines and develops the praxis of writing at university and offers contextualised, practical applications and approaches to these ends. The purpose of the book is to share a collective body of experience in writing support and distil it into relevant guidance, enabling practitioners to develop their teaching and help students to improve their writing at university. It draws together the existing body of knowledge within literacy scholarship and crucially translates it into practical activities for writing development.
