Abstract | As online literacy and language support becomes more prevalent in tertiary education, we need to consider various technical, pedagogic, linguistic and literacy issues that are pertinent to it. This paper draws on a large on-going action research project, the Language Companion Course (LCC), to provide some theoretical and practical insights on these issues. After providing a broad overview of the project, the paper shows ways in which principles of genre-based pedagogy have been incorporated into the LCC by sharing an example of how the project supports students in the Department of Biology and Chemistry at CityU. The paper ends with providing the results of a student and staff survey that shows their response to the project. |
