摘要

目前,澳大利亚对中小学生和大学生写作标准的关注突出了法学院支持和发展学生写作技能的责任。良好实践原则建议,法学院的写作发展应在具有主题内容的嵌入式背景下进行,并由作为法律话语专家的法律学者领导。课程还应根据学生如何学习识字的理论,并与学术语言和学习专家协商制定。然而,在澳大利亚,很少有关于法律中嵌入写作程序的研究,与ALL专家协商的影响也不是一个被广泛探讨的问题。本文报道了澳大利亚一所大型地区大学的嵌入式法律写作项目的混合方法研究结果。它表明,在不对现有课程进行实质性改变的情况下,实施基于良好实践教学法的写作计划是可能的。它还揭示了将支持重点放在教学学者身上,而不是放在个别学生身上的重要性,并确保学者得到所有专业知识的支持,为他们提供能够与学生谈论学科语言的工具。这项研究的数量方面也表明,基于对学生如何发展学术素养的理解的写作计划似乎可以提高那些传统上可能没有被法学院录取的学生的表现。

Implementing Good Practice Pedagogy to Support Law Students’ Writing Skills
The current focus on the standard of writing of both school and university students in Australia underscores the responsibility of law schools to support and develop their students’ writing skills. Good practice principles recommend that writing development at law schools should occur in an embedded context with subject matter content and led by law academics as experts in the discourse of law. Programs should also be informed by theory about how students learn literacy and developed in consultation with academic language and learning (‘ALL’) experts. However, there are few studies of embedded writing programs in law in Australia, and the impact of consultation with ALL experts is also not an issue which has been extensively explored. This article reports on the results of a mixed-methods study of an embedded writing program in law at a large regional Australian university. It demonstrates that it is possible to implement a writing program based on good practice pedagogy without making substantial changes to the existing curriculum. It also reveals the importance of focusing the support on the teaching academics, rather than on individual students, and ensuring that academics are supported by ALL expertise, to provide them with the tools to be able to talk to their students about language in their discipline. The quantitative aspects of this study also demonstrate that a writing program based on an understanding of how students develop academic literacy appears to lift the performance of students who may not have traditionally been admitted to law school.
