Given its highly comparative natuare, its comprehensive examination of curricular practices that can be adapted in other institutions and its practical suggestions for dismantling writing myths and adopting a progressive view of writing, Academic Writing Instruction invites academids and administrators at the University of the West Indies and other universities and policymakers in education in Jamaica to reflect on how Creole-influenced students do language, what aacademic writing is, how it is learned, what an academic community is, and who gets admitted in to it and how. Milson Whyte's work is grounded in current scholarship on language difference and writing.
