In this paper, I examine the acquisition of academic literacy by nonnative speaker graduate students who choose to study in the English medium. For these students, the concept of academic literacy extends beyond the ability to read and write. I will critically explore our understanding of academic literacy by summarizing the research on this issue, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the surveys and case studies that have been conducted. I will then point out the areas that need to be examined, and better approaches that could be utilized to enhance our understanding of academic literacy. Having been a nonnative speaker graduate student myself, I will integrate into the paper anecdotes of my experience in gaining academic literacy in order to both enrich the paper and to substantiate my claims.
