Global Utilities

Academic Language and Learning (ALL) Unit

The Academic Language and Learning (ALL) unit works closely with teaching staff in all Faculties and campuses to ensure that all La Trobe students – including those from non-English-speaking backgrounds – develop high-level academic speaking, writing, reading, and numeracy skills required for successful learning in their courses. To achieve those ends, the ALL Unit staff: collaborate on course and subject design; advise on teaching and learning strategies; teach/co-teach special undergraduate and postgraduate subjects, tutorials and workshops; and provide professional development for staff.
