Enseñanza de las prácticas letradas académicas y profesionales para el fortalecimiento de las trayectorias estudiantiles

This article presents and exemplifies a teaching approach to literacy practices aimed at educational and social inclusion, which involves comprehensively encompassing and strengthening student trajectories in higher education. The article explains the principles of this framework, which allow the addressing of various stages in the formative development of students: the design of explicit teaching initiatives for academic and professional genres, a situated perspective to understand literacy practices, and the adoption of an integrated perspective that links teaching, research, outreach, and institutional policies. To illustrate this approach, three teaching initiatives developed under the Free Chair of Studies on Academic and Professional Reading, Writing, and Speaking –an outreach initiative of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Buenos Aires– are described. These initiatives aim to strengthen student trajectories from the beginning of university studies through to the workplace
