Academic literacy, from first draft to first DOI
Helping students write like academics
Alekhni teaches high school students how to read, research, and write the way scholars do, and helps them publish pre-prints and original work before they ever set foot on a university campus.
Why Alekhni
Most students never learn academic writing in time
Reading scholarly sources, asking answerable research questions, and writing it up with evidence aren't taught early enough, yet most presitigious university admissions are based on these skills. At university-level, many students feel that academic reading and writing courses are being rushed and the students often fail to produce novel research as part of their theses. Many other universities, especially in the Global South, don't even expect students to write a thesis, which leads to a global research divide. Alekhni is here to bridge this divide. We build genuine confidence in the students to make them independent learners and researchers.
