Welcome to the archives for Language and Learning Across the Disciplines (LLAD). The mission of this peer-reviewed, academic journal was to provide a forum for debates concerning interdisciplinarity, situated discourse communities, and writing across the curriculum programs. LLAD was published from 1994 to 2003. In January 2004, Language and Learning Across the Disciplines merged with Academic.Writing to form Across the Disciplines.
The LLAD archives are available as complete issues and indivdiual articles. Information about the LLAD editorial staff, editorial review board, and submission guidelines for the journal can be found in the complete issues.
