Collaborative Research in Multilingual Classrooms by Anonim Pdf
Reporting on the research collaborations of a group of teachers, graduate students, and a university professor, this book investigates how classrooms might be better for students of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, abilities and socio-economic circumstances, and better for teachers as well.
Teacher Collaboration and Talk in Multilingual Classrooms by Angela Creese Pdf
This volume looks at the interactions of collaborating teachers in multilingual classrooms and how these impact on what counts as knowledge in the secondary school classroom. It also looks at how policy statements and ideologies around multilingualism position teachers and learners in particular ways. A linguistic ethnographic approach is taken in the study, which considers the discourses of whole class and small group teaching and learning. Chapters consider the relation between different languages, different pedagogues and different teacher identities in the secondary school classroom. The book documents how a policy of inclusion is played out in practice.
Collaborative Research in Second Language Education by Teresa O'Brien,Michael Beaumont Pdf
In its exploration of four themes, this book shows how researchers, teachers and pupils for whom English is an additional language can develop together. The first theme is research - of a kind that is of direct benefit to teachers - done by teacher and teacher educators, with and for teachers. The second is professional development and shows how the research contributes to becoming a better teacher. The third theme is collaboration - of learners with teachers, teachers with teachers and teachers with teacher educators. Finally, the studies are set within different language education contexts, seeking commonalties where the terms 'foreign', 'second' and 'modern' have generally been divisive. The issues covered include the role of language across the curriculum, the links between oracy and literacy in bilingual learning, the relationship between communicative teachering and communicative testing, teacher development through distance learning programmes, and the appropriacy to context of educational philosophies and technologies. Illustrating how colleagues in schools and higher education institutions can work together effectively for the benefit of all learners, it will be invaluable to educators searching for examples of practitioner research to further their own development. -- from back cover.

Collaborative Writing in L2 Classrooms by Neomy Storch Pdf
In this first book-length treatment of collaborative writing in second language (L2) classrooms, Neomy Storch provides a theoretical, pedagogical and empirical rationale for the use of collaborative writing activities in L2 classes, as well as some guidelines about how to best implement such activities in both face-to-face and online mode. The book discusses factors that may impact on the nature and outcomes of collaborative writing, and examines the beliefs about language learning that underpin learners' and teachers' attitudes towards pair and group work. The book critically reviews the available body of research on collaborative writing and identifies future research directions, thereby encouraging researchers to continue investigating collaborative writing activities.
This fully revised edition provides a comprehensive discussion of how insights and concepts from new materialism and posthumanism might be used in investigating second language learning and teaching in classrooms. Alongside the sociocultural and poststructural perspectives discussed in the first edition, this new book presents insights from new materialism on identity, second language learning and pedagogical practices. This application of new theory deepens our understanding of how minority language background children learn English in the context of their classrooms. The author comprehensively explains the new materiality perspectives and suggests how research from this perspective might provide new insights on second language learning and teaching in classrooms. The book is unique in analysing empirical classroom data from a sociocultural, but also a new materiality perspective, and has the potential to change our understandings of research and pedagogical practices.

Collaborative Research in Language Education by Gudrun Erickson,Camilla Bardel,David Little Pdf
Language education at all levels benefits from research in a multitude of ways. Conversely, educational practices and experiences offer fertile ground for research into language learning, teaching and assessment. This book views research in language education as a reciprocal venture that should benefit all participants equally. Practice is shaped by theory, which in turn is illuminated and refined by practice. The book brings together studies from different fields of language education in nine countries on four continents: Cameroon, Canada, Finland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan and Sweden. The authors report on research that depends on the active involvement of teachers, teacher educators and learners of different ages and various backgrounds. The book focuses on projects designed to address challenges in the classroom and on the role of learners as collaborative agents in the research process as well as collaborative research in professional development and the role of collaborative research in the development of national policy.

Teaching Content and Language in the Multilingual Classroom by Svenja Hammer,Kara Mitchell Viesca,Nancy L. Commins Pdf
This book brings together research from six different countries across three continents where teacher educators and policy makers are addressing the under-preparation of content teachers to work effectively with multilingual learners. By highlighting this relatively young field of research at an international level, the book advances the research-based knowledge of the field and promotes international research relationships and partnerships to better support the education of multilingual learners and their teachers. The chapters represent high-quality empirical qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies about pre-service and in-service teachers. Comprising four sections, each represents a critical aspect of the equitable teaching of multilingual learners. All the research was conducted in countries that belong to OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) enabling the reader to compare contexts and outcomes. This book will be of particular interest to academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of language education, teacher education, and education for multilingual learners. It will be of great value to anyone concerned with equity and social justice for multilingual learners whose languages, cultural practices, and resources are often overlooked and/or marginalized in the schools they attend.
(Re)imagining Translanguaging Pedagogies through Teacher–Researcher Collaboration by Leah Shepard-Carey,Zhongfeng Tian Pdf
This book presents one possible pathway towards the advancement of translanguaging pedagogies: teacher–researcher partnerships. Although the existing literature alludes to the value of such partnerships, there is a lack of research that explicitly describes the complex processes of designing and implementing translanguaging pedagogies in primary and secondary school settings (K-12) across various international contexts. Through an expanded focus on teacher–researcher collaboration and the negotiation process, the book unpacks the opportunities and challenges of engaging in contextualized translanguaging designs with reference to broader ideological discourses and systemic structures. By promoting and highlighting teacher–researcher partnerships as one avenue for improvement and transparency, the chapters in this book demonstrate the potential of translanguaging pedagogies in classrooms and further resist the linguistic hierarchies that exist in educational institutions today.
New Perspectives on Translanguaging and Education by BethAnne Paulsrud,Jenny Rosén,Boglárka Straszer,Åsa Wedin Pdf
This edited collection explores the immense potential of translanguaging in educational settings and highlights teachers and students negotiating language ideologies in their everyday communicative practices. It makes a significant contribution to scholarship on translanguaging and considers the need for pedagogy to reflect and embrace diversity. The chapters provide rich empirical research and document translanguaging in varied educational contexts, with studies from pre-school to adult education in different, mainly European, countries, where English is not the dominant language. Together they expand our understanding of translanguaging and how it can be applied to a variety of settings. This book will be of interest to students and researchers, especially in education, language education and applied linguistics, as well as to professionals and policymakers.

Applied Linguistics Research and Good Practices for Multicultural and Multilingual Classrooms by Isaak Papadopoulos,Smaragda Papadopoulou Pdf
"This book aspires to provide a reflective and descriptive account of innovative research works and practices related to promoting and accommodating cultural and linguistic diversity in education. Within a diverse world, classrooms with diversity are not considered to be a major challenge, especially when researchers and teachers are making a joint attempt to accommodate this diversity of skills, competences, knowledge, expertise, feeling, languages, and cultures. This book has been developed to cover various aspects of approaching and supporting multilingual and multicultural classrooms through a selection of chapters, which shed light onto experiences in the field. The contributors of this book report and reflect on practices that raise students' multilingual and inter/multicultural awareness, communication and interaction. They discuss challenges of various contexts and provide perspectives from different angles on the above-mentioned issues underlining the need for continuous research, implementation and reflection in modern diverse classrooms. Teachers and researchers internationally seem to have placed this diversity at the center of their attention and this book is an example of best practices and pieces of research towards supporting such classrooms which have been seen as a crossroad for languages and cultures"--
Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms by Neokleous, Georgios,Krulatz, Anna,Farrelly, Raichle Pdf
Literacy has traditionally been associated with the linguistic and functional ability to read and write. Although literacy, as a fundamental issue in education, has received abundant attention in the last few decades, most publications to date have focused on monolingual classrooms. Language teacher educators have a responsibility to prepare teachers to be culturally responsive and flexible so they can adapt to the range of settings and variety of learners they will encounter in their careers while also bravely questioning the assumptions they are encountering about multilingual literacy development and instruction. The Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms is an essential scholarly publication that explores the multifaceted nature of literacy development across the lifespan in a range of multilingual contexts. Recognizing that literacy instruction in contemporary language classrooms serving diverse student populations must go beyond developing reading and writing abilities, this book sets out to explore a wide range of literacy dimensions. It offers unique perspectives through a critical reflection on issues related to power, ownership, identity, and the social construction of literacy in multilingual societies. As a resource for use in language teacher preparation programs globally, this book will provide a range of theoretical and practical perspectives while creating space for pre- and in-service teachers to grapple with the ideas in light of their respective contexts. The book will also provide valuable insights to instructional designers, curriculum developers, linguists, professionals, academicians, administrators, researchers, and students.
This text considers the application of sociocultural theory to understanding how minority language background children learn English in the context of their classrooms. Based on a longitudinal ethnography, it is suggested that understanding the pivotal role of social interaction in learning implies new perspectives both for SLA research and for effective instructional practice.
