Abstract: Many students have difficulty in comprehending academic text, especially in the first two years of tertiary study. This paper identifies the reading skills a student would need to fulfil the expectations of lecturers in the USP’s foundation extension course, Introduction to Pacific History. Reasons for difficulties students face in understanding passages in the course Reader are suggested and recommendations are made about how course writers, tutors and teachers, in history and in other disciplines, could assist students to overcome these difficulties. Such assistance with reading history research articles, for example, is viewed as part of the process of initiating students into the discourse community of the academic discipline. As such it is seen as the responsibility of the subject lecturer and tutor. Nevertheless, it is recognised that English teachers still have an important role to play if they are familiar with the genre of the discipline and understand its communicative purpose.
