The Unit for Academic Literacy (UAL) is a key research, teaching and learning entity similar to other academic departments in the Faculty of Humanities.

The Unit is also responsible for the provision of English as a foreign language (EFL) and English as a second language (ESL) through short courses offered by the University of Pretoria Centre for Language Learning (UPCLL). Our philosophy in the UAL is to transform students into critical and analytical thinkers, readers and writers. Therefore, we approach academic literacy as a cognitive process or a mode of reasoning, and we strive to equip our students with intellectually empowering academic literacy competencies. We want our students to master the different ways knowledge is constructed, shared and contested in their respective disciplines and at university level.

The UAL offers customised academic literacy courses at undergraduate level in seven faculties and several postgraduate academic reading and writing seminars.
