“…Further, Burns (1999) argues that collaborative action research projects 'strengthen the opportunities for the results of action research to be fed back into educational systems in a more substantial and critical way' (p. 13).

Collaboration between MAcc and NCELTR staff takes the form of dialogue between lecturers and teachers that seeks to resolve issues and tensions that arise out of teaching practice.…”

The Language for Professional Communication in Accounting project has changed teaching practice in a linguistically and culturally diverse postgraduate accounting program at Macquarie University in Australia. This paper reflects on the project's interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to diversity in the classroom by tracing its growth and development and describing the way in which it is supporting the integration of professional communication skills and disciplinespecific content within the Master of Accounting program. In particular, the paper demonstrates that discipline specialists working in a continuous and collaborative relationship with English language specialists, to integrate and assess communication skills and enrich the curriculum, leads to better outcomes for students and staff. The paper contributes to a growing literature on approaches that integrate particular graduate attributes into programs with diverse student populations, rather than bolt-on interventions by language specialists that have limited outcomes.
