This handbook offers an overview of the Academic Reading and Writing module taught by the Academic Language Centre of Leiden University. This course has been offered in various forms to first-year students of BA International Studies, BA Urban Studies and other programmes since 2012.
The aim of this handbook is to provide a framework for tutors outside the Academic Language Centre who wish to teach the module in its current format, and/or to serve as a basis for those who wish adapt the module to fit the needs of their specific programme. The overall goal is to enable departments and programmes to incorporate academic reading and writing skills into their curricula, using tried and tested materials developed by specialists.
