ROJAS GARCIA, Ilene. Teaching to Read and Write within the Disciplines. State of the Art in Colombian Universities. []. , 45, pp.29-48. ISSN 0123-4870.

This paper reviews forty-two research papers that analyze the progress made by Colombian universities regarding the teaching of reading and writing within specific disciplines of different academic programs. First, it explores the concept of academic literacy that guides the realization of studies; subsequently, it highlights the role of educational actors, especially language teachers and disciplinary teachers. Research interests are also explored in relation to the area of knowledge, the texts used, and studies carried out in both reading and writing. Finally, the paper reviews the most cited authors as well as the theoretical approaches that are the basis of the proposals. The study concludes that further research is necessary to analyze academic genres whose results allow to establish educational proposals and training mechanisms for disciplinary teachers. Such studies require a linguistic and ethnographic basis to expose the ideological relations that underlie academic texts.
