In contemporary higher education, academic writing is no longer viewed as a purely linguistic skill but as a complex ability shaped by disciplinary knowledge and cognitive engagement. This study investigates how the inclusion of subject-specific content influences the development of academic writing competence among learners of English as a foreign language.References
