Given its highly comparative nature, its comprehensive examination of curricular practices that can be adapted in other institutions and its practical suggestions for dismantling writing myths and adopting a progressive view of writing, Academic Writing Instruction invites academics and administrators at the University of the West Indies and other universities and policymakers in education in Jamaica to reflect on how Creole-influenced students do language, what academic writing is, how it is learned, what an academic community is, and who gets admitted into it and how.
Milson-Whyte’s work will also be of use to scholars and graduate students, teachers and teachers-in-training in applied linguistics, contrastive rhetoric, (English) language education, literacy, rhetoric, and composition or writing studies as well as general readers with an interest in international trends in postsecondary education or in how writing works.
