Humanities and Language Division. Writing across the curriculum Higher Education Language learning The 14th International Conference on Learning, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. June 26-29, 2007 The transfer of language skills, such as writing, often poses a challenge in English language courses in an academic environment in Asia. The English syllabus may be sound, and the teachers effective, yet students are simply not transferring writing skills they have gained under the guidance of the English department to other subjects, such as Psychology or Business Management. This presentation considers barriers to the transfer of these important skills in an international undergraduate programme in Thailand and examines the literature in Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) in suggesting means of overcoming these obstacles. WAC goes a step beyond content-based writing curricula; it also involves embedding language and critical thinking goals in subject-based courses like Psychology or Business Management. This presentation addresses these dual concerns: learning to write, and writing to learn as it builds a rationale for WAC and considers practical ways of implementing such a programme. 2015-01-27T08:59:33Z 2018-11-20T02:02:17Z 2015-01-27T08:59:33Z 2018-11-20T02:02:17Z 2015-01-27 2007 Proceeding Book https://repository.li.mahidol.ac.th/handle/123456789/35008 eng Mahidol University
