With notable exceptions, few studies of teaching and learning of scholarly registers and genres to users of English as an additional language focus on curriculum. For a contextualized understanding of register-curriculum relations, this study investigates disciplinary registers in the Academic English Program at Vantage College, a new alternative-entry, first-year program at the University of British Columbia, Canada. In integrating content and language instruction, the curriculum adopts systemic functional linguistics as the informing theory of language. Program registers and their relations are investigated using Matthiessen’s (2015) context-based register typology. This novel case study highlights register-curriculum relations in key aspects, including discipline-specific variation in register instruction, planned learning trajectories, faculty collaborations, and relations between English for general and specific academic purposes.

Student-led initiatives provide an authentic context for students to shape their own learning experiences and to develop skills in complex interpersonal behaviors, communication, teamwork, and leadership. A student-led conference is an example of a student-led initiative that integrates skill development across these professional domains that are necessary for contemporary health practice with conceptual understanding of basic and clinical sciences. Importantly, by participating in the student-led conference, students can form advanced views about knowledge, such as that scientific knowledge is complex and uncertain or even start to see themselves as capable contributors to the profession's knowledge. Drawn from literature as well as our experiences in implementing student-led conferences in dentistry courses, these 12 tips provide practical guidance to academics and curriculum designers on how to introduce and implement a student-led conference in health professional education. These 12 tips will help educators to consider aspects associated with design, implementation, and evaluation of a student-led conference, as well as surfacing aspects pertaining to relationships and culture. In doing so, we also aim to prompt academics to think more deeply about issues that arise when students partner with their academic advisors and the opportunities that the academics involved have for their own professional development.
