Academic Literacies Program

Dr. Christine Zaher

The ALP comprises the Foundations Program, the Academic Research and Writing Program, the Creative Writing Program, the Modern Languages Program and the University Writing Center. It is also responsible for the English Placement Test and the Writing Across the Curriculum Initiative (WAC).

The overall mission of the ALP is to empower students to communicate effectively, proficiently and appropriately throughout their undergraduate studies and beyond. Through its range of offerings, the ALP develops skills that are essential for academic success while nurturing a student's own "voice" and viewpoint. The ALP trains students to monitor their individual practice with a view to becoming responsible, independent scholars.
