Academic socialization as the production and negotiation of social space

The article then reports on a study that adopted the notion of academic social space to examine the language socialization of one international student in a tertiary institute in New Zealand.

Creating translanguaging spaces in students ’ academic writing practices
Publication date: June 2018 Source:Linguistics and Education, Volume 45 Author(s): Kathrin Kaufhold Postgraduates increasingly write in multilingual contexts. Studies have focused on developing bilingual expertise or harnessing expressions of writer identity. Yet, the role of students’ linguistic ideologies and their writing experiences has so far not been problematised. Based on Busch's sociolinguistic model of linguistic repertoire (2012), this paper investigates how students develop their academic writing across language codes and registers in the multilingual contexts of a Swedish university. The qualitative, long...

Analyzing students ’ writing in a Jamaican Creole-speaking context: An ecological and systemic functional approach
This article examines the language and literacy practices of Creole English-speaking children in Jamaica. Situating the study within an ecological framework, we use a systemic functional linguistic (SFL) approach to analyze students’ writing in two Jamaican schools. Data collection included interviews with teachers, classroom observations, instructional materials, and focal students’ writing samples. Data analyses revealed vastly different language ecologies between the schools owing to sharp socioeconomic stratification, the structural organization of schools, and the pervasiveness of standard language ideology, which...

Publication date: February 2018 Source:Linguistics and Education, Volume 43 Author(s): Natasha Anne Rappa, Kok-Sing Tang Classroom discourse plays an important role in shaping how students learn science in the classroom. Past research has examined how content area teachers use a variety of generic discourse strategies to foster classroom interaction and content mastery. However, few have focused on how teachers’ discourse strategy can be used in more specific ways to build subject-specialized genres of the discipline, such as scientific explanation. The purpose of this study is to examine how science teachers integra...

It also groups evaluative acts in terms of the discourse entities that are performing them (i.e., historical actors, the authorial voice, or other historians/interpreters of the past). Key findings include a higher overall occurrence of explicit evaluation in the secondary school texts, extensive rel...

I incorporate findings from a diachronic study of photos and teacher interviews in southeastern Estonian schools in 2001–2003 and 2013–2014 to appreciate and analyze dynamic forces changing schoolscapes.
