The Academic literacy in the teaching of public Accounting

La alfabetización académica en la enseñanza de la contaduría publica

For the disciplines, the creation or adoption of a specialized language that frames their contents through codes that allow communication between their connoisseurs is essential. However, students who enter the public accounting career face specialized thematic content (normative, theoretical and mathematical) without the specific reading and writing skills that allow them to understand them properly, which produces frustration in the neophyte student and, in many cases, their desertion. Therefore, this article proposes to discuss the question of what is the responsibility of the university and university teachers in the formation of reading and writing skills of students? In the very formulation of the question, it is postulated that by placing the problem outside the student, the reflection on the way in which the programs include training in specialized reading is broadened and opens the way to the design of didactics that motivate the growth of these competences in them.
