Students need specific skills and attributes to be considered for acceptance into undergraduate study. In particular, competency in academic writing and adhering to academic conventions are critical. This course is an IHEP core course and focuses on the conventions of academic writing in preparation for undergraduate study. This course taps into the existing scholarly community of Aboriginal and Islander academic works to provide a theoretical framework for academic writing. The skills developed in the earlier units are honed here. If writing academically is a particular skill then the question must be asked 鈥渉ow do you maintain your voice whilst using others ideas?鈥�. The skill of removing the I voice whilst still communicating your thoughts, ideas, values will be explored.

Using a combination of self-paced online instruction and face to face delivery students will focus on academic skills development. Conventions of academic writing and disciplinary texts will be unpacked within a distinctly First Nations context and worldview. The language skills, thinking skills and writing skills are provided in a broad context to best enable students to continue in the career of their choice. This course celebrates the knowledge that students bring with them and aims to demystify the structures and conventions applied within the western academy.
