Abstract
This chapter addresses first year students' language difficulties in academic writing at University. The setting for the design narrative is an Object-Oriented Software Development program. Within the genre theoretical framework, it illustrates how an academic literacy program was developed to address lanuage issues with detailed discussion of learning difficulties, module design with specific content examples as well as the discussion of program outcomes and lessons learned. This design narrative has contributed to the knowledge of academic literacy development with a genre-based approach.
