As an exercise in online language and literacy support to university students, the SLATE project proved truly impressive. Its work deserves wider recognition and I commend this book to all those with an interest in language and literacy education.' - Frances Christie, University of Melbourne, Australia

Based on a large action research project, this book elaborates on how genre-based pedagogy can be extended to engage non-English speaking background students in tertiary educational institutions to develop their academic literacy practice, using online resources.
