Rate My Professor Annife Campbell

Annife Lance Campbell serves as Instructor of Academic Literacies in the Department of Language, Linguistics and Philosophy at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus. He holds an MPhil in Linguistics and is pursuing a PhD in Applied Linguistics, focusing on Writing Assessment. His research specializations encompass academic writing pedagogy, assessment practices in higher education, and their alignment with broader educational goals such as Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). Campbell's work examines markers' end comments on student essays, highlighting semantic cues like praise, amplification, psychological softeners, tone, and condemnation, which indicate positions on writing quality and promote skills including problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, conflict resolution, and communication within marking communities.

Campbell's career includes tutoring foundational courses such as Critical Reading and Writing in the Social Sciences (FOUN1013) and moderating panel discussions during Language Section Week at UWI Mona. He has conducted interactive sessions on the assessment of postsecondary writing within UWI communities. His key publications include the 2024 article 'Achieving Sustainable Writing Assessment in the Context of SDG 4 and Sub-goals 4.3, 4.7, and 4.9: The Case of a UWI Mona Marking Community' in The UWI Quality Education Forum, which connects writing assessment behaviors in UWI Mona's Foundation English Language course to SDG objectives for resilient academic systems. In 2022, he co-authored with Vivette Milson-Whyte 'Neoliberal Influences and Academic Writing Student Support Systems in Higher Education' in the same journal, analyzing the effects of privatisation, marketisation, profit, and competition on initiatives like writing courses, basic writing programmes, the Mona Writing Centre, and Writing Across the Curriculum projects, drawing on archival documents, practitioners' works, and personal experiences. Additionally, he contributed a chapter to the 2019 edited volume Creole Composition: Academic Writing and Rhetoric in the Anglophone Caribbean, discussing the balance between composition and grammar instruction at the University of Technology, Jamaica. Campbell has presented papers such as 'Writing's Worth: A Critical Reflection from Academic Writing Scholars and Teachers associated with the Anglophone Caribbean' and is scheduled to present on morphosemantic complexity in Jamaican versus Akan noun compounds with implications for AI at the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics conference in 2025.
