Student academic writing development and support has always been a cornerstone of extended curriculum provisions across the South African university sector. The significance of this area of student learning is emphasized in this collection as five chapters address this topic and provide insight into how it is approached at all four of the institutions in the Western Cape.
The authors of these chapters have been asked to participate in the next Inter-Institutional Academic Literacies Forum on 6 March 2016. Here they will be able to share their practices with a new community of practitioners also interested in student writing development and academic literacies in the university.
