- Academic Skills Advising: Towards a discipline
"The view taken in this volume was that ALL is fundamentally an inter-discipline, drawing its strength from a number of related fields. The work sought also to position ALL work theoretically, with the referencing of a number of broad paradigms held to have particular relevance to the field’s outlooks and practices: Hermeneutics (Taylor); Communication theory (Garner); Counselling theory (Chanock); Composition theory (Vance); Applied Linguistics (Clerehan & Moore); and Second language acquisition (Storch). Among the effects of this syncretic approach was that the ALL field was able to accommodate in its ranks researcher-practitioners from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, although with different versions of ‘language studies’ always somehow central. Notwithstanding an additional contribution by Gordon Taylor, the publication of this volume also signaled the passing of the baton to a new generation of practitioners in the country."
