Academic Literacy - the next step after English proficiency

Most people think of literacy in terms of reading and writing. But there is another form of literacy, called academic literacy. Academic literacy is a set of skills that students need to do well in school and beyond. These skills include reading, writing, critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork. Academic literacy is not just about knowing the right answer; it is also about being able to find the right answer. It is about being able to understand complex texts, think critically, and communicate effectively. It also includes having a strong understanding of grammar and vocabulary. 

Academic literacy is at the heart of all academic work. It involves a broad range of activities and skills, such as:

Reading: understanding texts with different levels of complexity; comprehending and analysing complex texts; developing critical thinking skills. Writing: Using text to express ideas, making connections, and analysing texts; writing in a range of genres.
Critical Thinking: Understanding how information is organized, how it is being manipulated to persuade an audience, and applying critical thinking skills to understand and evaluate the quality of that information.
Referencing and Citations: Using bibliographic tools and using sources to support ideas, conclusions, and arguments. 

Academic literacy includes knowing how to read, write, and analyse academic texts. It also includes being able to use technology tools correctly and having a strong research skills. If students have mastered academic literacy, they will be better prepared to take courses in higher education institutions and be successful in their studies.
