Dr. Donna Velliaris examines ways to amplify student skills for academic success in the HE sector
Guest Blog: Deciphering Academic Code: Academic Language & Learning (ALL) Support Services in HE
By
Donna Velliaris
on
May 17, 2019
With the recent news of the college admissions scandal and universities tweaking their policies and procedures pertaining to academic integrity, misconduct has been underscored in the media on higher education (HE). Experts in HE, including
Dr. Donna Velliaris
, editor of
Prevention and Detection of Academic Misconduct in Higher Education
and
Study Abroad Contexts for Enhanced Foreign Language Learning
, as well as contributor of 30 IGI Global book chapters, dives into a discussion on enhancing Academic Language & Learning (ALL) support services, as beneficial to addressing these issues. Read more about this topic below:
As expressed in the preface of her
Handbook of Research on Academic Misconduct in Higher Education
,
Dr. Velliaris
’ involvement and subsequent interest in academic dishonesty or cheating behaviors originated from her former role as an academic advisor—encompassing Academic Integrity Officer (AIO)—at a pre-university pathway institution in Australia. Her forthcoming IGI Global publication titled,
Academic Language and Learning Support Services in Higher Education
, will focus on the roles, means, and resources used by higher education (HE) support staff and services that encourage heightened student reflection, autonomy, and performance success.
Increasingly, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are assigning persons responsible for issues surrounding Academic Language and Learning (ALL) and Academic Integrity (AI). Successful transition into a new educational environment requires adaptation to the ALL culture of the ‘host’ institution. Intensifying and embedding ALL support persons, programs, and resources are helping to advance HE students’ ability to assimilate and ameliorate issues that may otherwise lead to academic anxiety and withdrawal, particularly at the first-year and undergraduate levels.
Academic Integrity Officers (AIOs)—with many and varied ‘other’ titles as listed below—oversee and facilitate matters pertaining, but not limited to: consistent application of departmental/institutional guidelines on academic conduct; interpretation and implementation of institutional polic(ies); management of reported cases of academic misconduct identified by colleagues; guidelines and supervision of Turnitin; and uniformity of outcomes when misconduct is proven.

The days when Discipline-Specific Lecturers (DSLs) could justifiably claim to have read all the books/articles written in their field of expertise have long gone. Today, with millions of articles available on the Internet, it is not easy for DSLs to determine
how
,
when
, or
where
a student may have lifted or commissioned material from. Nevertheless, there are those DSLs who: (1) regard the culture inherent in their discipline as apparent and for that reason, expectations about language, learning and assessment, are not explicated; and/or (2) consider their primary concern is that of ‘content’ and not ‘language’ teaching i.e., assisting students linguistically is beyond the scope of their role.
In light of workload demands, DSLs have cause to justify overlooking the additional work involved in providing complex and time-consuming language concentration. Although Electronic Plagiarism Detection (EPD) software helps eliminate much of the ‘practical’ burden of identifying plagiarized sources, the marker remains responsible for interpreting the percentage of text similarity. Yet, EPDs have been criticized for a lack of ‘human judgement’ as the software is unable to discern between
intentional
(e.g., cutting-and-pasting text, contract paper purchasing) and
unintentional
(e.g., inept citation, poor paraphrasing technique) misconduct. Still, the function of EPDs is to support the academic who needs to examine the results of originality reports of students’ assessment papers.
Unquestionably, DSLs have ‘the’ central role to play in plagiarism prevention with responsibility to set appropriate assessment tasks that reduce the likelihood of students having the opportunity to engage in misconduct (refer to the IGI Global Newsroom articles, '
To Catch a Cheater
', '
Caring or Collusion?
' and '
Cheaters Beware: (Re)designing Writing Assessment Tasks
', for further information).
DSLs must be ‘hyper-astute’ as they are best placed to identify the word choices and structural features that characterize writing that is acceptable within their discipline. While the DSL is the content specialist, an AIO for example, may be better able to decipher the foreign academic code for students and clearly lay out the necessary steps required to fulfil course requirements. Significantly, they are better positioned to ‘objectively’ compare novice and/or native corpora of academic writing that can allude to non-nativeness, unconventionality, and/or remarkable skill-level in the phraseology of students’ written work e.g., overuse, underuse and/or misuse of certain writing conventions such as frequency, positioning, register, and semantics, that can be observed/scrutinized as an auxiliary to detect misconduct.
Certainly, it seems probable that whatever checks and balances are created, academic misconduct will be present—to some extent—across HE. With an integrated ALL approach, however, HE students can be pushed to the level of writing achievement expected at the tertiary-level with the aid of two professionals; the DSL and AIO,
both
of whom may work in partnership to defend the academic credibility and reputation of the standards of an award within a HEI.
