Academic Literacy for Research Students
LINGALRS is a web-based resource designed to help HDR students in the Human Sciences improve their academic writing. However, while the focus is on the human sciences, the content may be of use to HDR students across the campus. Each module includes a discussion of a specific aspect of academic writing, together with examples to illustrate the points being made. After you have read the discussion, you are invited to apply what you have learned both by analysing texts written by authorities in the field and then by analysing you own writing.
