In recent years, many universities have begun to recognize the importance of providing students with some form of access to academic literacy, particularly within the learner's chosen field of study. In order to address these needs at the University of Cape Town, many disciplines now require a first-year course which aims to equip learners with the language and communication skills, which are necessary in order to successfully complete a university degree. Students in the Economics department enroll in a discipline-specific, writing-intensive course which runs throughout the first year of the learners' university experience. The focus of this study is to examine this tutorial in terms of how it meets, or fails to meet, learners' needs in terms of developing appropriate academic writing skills for students pursuing an economics degree. 2014-12-26T14:23:05Z 2014-12-26T14:23:05Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MEd http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10154 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
