Description
This thesis explores how instructors of Academic Writing in a UAE higher education institution conceive, teach and assess for information literacy learning. Using a case study the research included interviews, observations of classroom and instructor-student conferencing sessions, written assessment feedback, and curriculum-related materials. Findings provide insight into instructors' understanding and practice framed through the academic writing task, the challenges that students from a range of multicultural backgrounds face, and the utility that a formative assessment approach affords. Outcomes are significant for local institutions responding to international accreditation mandates, and practitioners who seek to understand the overlap between writing and research.
