Abstract
This chapter reviews aspects of the 'Academic Literacies' approach to student writing at UK University in order to explore some of the changes it identifies in the requirements and regulations laid upon both students and lecturers regarding writing practices. It considers whether there is now greater explicitness and transparency regarding expectations, meeting institutional norms, to be found in the regulations, and institutional pressures that serve to define what counts as student writing in particular and learning more generally at University. This new framework may be understood as part of the broader institutional pressure on Education as a whole that has been termed the 'new orders'. Before describing the case study and how it might be seen in this wider context, the chapter elaborates the notion of the 'New Orders' and how it links with 'Academic Literacies'. Keywords: academic literacies approach; new order; student writing; UK University
