Figures & data
Figure 1. The disciplinary literacy triangle (Airey Citation2011). Disciplinary literacy entails developing communicative competence for three specific sites: society, the workplace and the academy.
Figure 2. Each language has its own disciplinary literacy triangle. Students will usually be expected to be able to perform different functions in different languages.
Figure 3. The disciplinary literacy discussion matrix (Airey Citation2011). Content lecturers tick those cells they believe students need to master with for their course. Each cell of the matrix is then discussed in turn (including those cells lecturers left unchecked).
