This Lightning Workshop will model effective strategies to embed critical and purposeful reading instruction into your course without straying from your core content. Drawing on genre analysis and academic literacies pedagogies, the aim of this session is to help you demystify academic reading for your students, empowering them to become efficient and purposeful readers who can confidently critique academic texts.
Staff are asked to bring a core text (preferably a journal article) from their course reading list.
