An A to W of Academic Literacy: Key Concepts and Practices for Graduate Students. Mary Jane Curry, Fangzhi He, Weijia Li, Ting Zhang, Yanhoung Zuo, Mahmoud Altalouli, & Jihan Ayesh. University of Michigan Press, 2021.

In the 2018-2019 academic year, the number of international students registered at Canadian universities rose to over 318,000 (Government of Canada, 2020). Hailing from diverse linguistic and socioeconomic backgrounds, these students face unique challenges when starting academic studies in Canada. But it is not just international students, and not just graduate students, who can benefit from Mary Jane Curry’s An A to W of Academic Literacy: Key Concepts and Practices for Graduate Students. Any first-generation academics, undergraduates in writing-heavy programs, and instructors will find this text useful, too.
