Writing across the Curriculum in ELT Training Courses: A Proposal Using Data-Driven Learning in Disciplinary Assignments
Mussetta, Mariana; Vartalatis, Andrea
International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, v30 n2 p300-307 2018
The process toward academic literacy aims at developing academic reading and writing together with higher academic competences of increasing relevance for undergraduate students as future teachers and researchers. Such a process is even more complex in ELT vocational courses where non-English speaking trainees study English as a system while they are in the process of becoming proficient users of this foreign language. This paper shares our action research experience with undergraduate non-native students at an English teacher training program in Argentina. From the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) approach, the implementation of data-driven learning (DDL) assignments has proved to contribute to their process of enculturation and the promotion of subject learning while fostering the development of disciplinary thinking.
