The widening access to tertiary education has been a process observable worldwide for several decades. One general outcome of this widening participation in tertiary education is the increasing social, cultural, and linguistic diversity in the classrooms. This increasing diversity often manifests itself in what teachers perceive as inadequate literacy skills of a growing number of students. Because tertiary schools in many countries have started admitting all low-achieving students who are willing to continue their education, there is an urgent need to help the low-achievers, who have become a majority in many classes, to stay and succeed in college. Academic teachers are facing the challenge of how to adapt their teaching to suit the needs of these students.

The paper looks for a way to teach an introductory linguistics course to students of English in Poland whose academic skills are insufficient for tertiary study, but the discussion is relevant to teaching all introductory academic courses. It addresses the issue of how to integrate content instruction with explicit teaching of academic literacy skills indispensible for college success so that low-achieving students who have been traditionally excluded from tertiary education can be successfully included in academic classes.
