It makes complex linguistic theory and academic practices accessible for enabling students. It involves not only an overall style of teaching, but also a creative use of the metaphor of cupcakes, along with peer-learning activities, which scaffold students’ disciplinary knowledge and academic literacies. This, in turn, helps students improve their self-efficacy in the tertiary environment, enabling them to reach their academic potential. After the philosophy was formalised in the course, student engagement, satisfaction and retention improved, as did the quality of students’ assessed work. This paper demonstrates how an innovative and student-focused teaching practice can effectively promote student engagement and academic success.]]> Wed 29 Apr 2020 13:51:02 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15482 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:31:56 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16944 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28425 Mon 08 Jul 2019 14:08:49 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53537 Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:44:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55353 Fri 17 May 2024 15:58:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32876 Fri 08 Apr 2022 13:48:11 AEST ]]>
