Dr Anabela Malpique

Anabela is a Senior Lecturer in Literacy at the School of Education.

Background

Dr Anabela Malpique has a background in teaching languages and literacies, including teaching and coordination roles in different educational contexts (Portugal, UK, and WA). Her research interests focus on literacy development, with a specific interest in writing development and writing instruction. Her research addresses a national and international call to develop high-quality research investigating effective writing and contextual factors contributing to writing development across the lifespan.

She’s currently leading the Writing for All research initiative aiming to expand knowledge on individual and contextual-level factors explaining writing development from early-childhood till late adulthood. Her interest in the field goes back to the late 90s when she started teaching languages and literature, soon realising the difficulties that most students had in translating their ideas into written language. Her research involves typically developing writers in both primary and secondary schools.
