Academic literacy has always been a key underlying theme in English for academic purposes and practitioners and researchers in the field have always had one eye on its development in students. In recent years it has moved into the foreground and become a central field of study in its own right and the focus of a considerable amount of programme development and research. This was reflected in the fact that a conference focusing on Developing Academic Literacy was held by BALEAP (British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes) in Southampton in the spring of 2003. This volume consists of papers selected from the themes of that conference. The papers reflect areas of interest in issues in academic literacy, criticality and evaluative language, academic literacy in the disciplines and the use of technology in developing academic literacy.
The Editor: George Blue was a Senior Lecturer and Head of Education in Modern Languages at the University of Southampton. He was the University’s first Lecturer in English for Overseas Students and served as Head of the English Language Section for many years, helping to establish Southampton as a major centre for English for Academic Purposes (EAP). He was a former Chair of the British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes (BALEAP) and of the Institute for English Language Teacher Development in Higher Education (IELTDHE).
