Abstract :
Education needs to be sustainable and one way to achieve educational sustainability is through developing students´ interest in scholarly articles. Introducing scholarly articles in the classroom is often compellingly challenging for both the lecturer and students, largely because most of these articles are too complicated for some students. In this paper, we introduce a practiced-based technique to assist lecturers/teachers to achieve better student learning through scholarly articles, and therefore attain educational sustainability. This technique was implemented and validated in our case studies. It demonstrates that it makes a significant contribution in guiding students to a better way of reading difficult scholarly articles.
