Enhancing Cross-Institutional Collaboration in Academic Language and Learning

This initiative aims to foster collegiality, professionalism, and research across institutions in Australia, particularly focusing on academic language and learning (ALL) practices. Key activities include competitive grants, workshops, peer mentoring, and the development of resources to support diverse student cohorts. By promoting evidence-based practices and facilitating collaboration, we seek to improve student retention and success through integrated academic support. We invite the AALL community to participate in refining and uploading practices to enhance our collective resource database.

  12. What we would like from the AALL community ALL Practices: • Names of a small group willing to upload practices to do a final test before we launch it to all AALL registered members Bibliographical Data: • Check whether your publications are up, and if so, check all details, eg whether the abstract is there, whether the correct search categories are identified, etc. • If your publications are not there, upload them. As you’ve seen, this is easy and won’t take too much time. • Add a PDF or URL if appropriate. • Add your contact details if appropriate. • Let us know if there are any search criteria missing.
