Woodward-Kron looks at the role of university language learning advisers and how they work with NNS students and subject teaching staff. Recommends dialogic exploratory talk as scaffolding in one-to-one work with students. Notes that the disciplines do not recognise or accept their own role in language teaching. Pilot study - strictly indicative.
Wingate deals with development of induction program for all students at Kings, something not well addressed previously in UK.
Recommends discipline-specific genre-based approach using exemplar materials drawn from student work.
Outlines application of deconstruction/joint construction/individual construction (Martin & Rose, Rothery) procedure through small group work with prepared guidance and commentaries. Suggestive of dialogic teaching, though this not directly explored.
Notes student preference for authentic essays; and subject tutors reluctance to engage.
Small scale and early reported - tentative.
