The 'Socially Networked' Newsroom identifies discourses of digital communication through observations of online and offline newsroom interactions, interviews, and text analysis to provide insights into how journalists use digital technologies in story production and the impact this has on their journalism practice.
Through discursive analysis of 300 hours of video-ethnographic material gathered in three newsrooms, the authors apply groundbreaking qualitative methodological approaches to unrav
This book examines strategic language use in professional engineering written reports, illustrating how writers create a persuasive stance within an objective style. It describes engineering writing through a close analysis of interpersonal language, using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), complemented with quantitative corpus linguistics methods and interpreted through concepts drawn from Legitimation Code Theory (LCT). This description demonstrates how engineering writers have a strong pr
This pioneering collection provides a space for Latin American English language teacher educators and leaders to share their innovative professional practices.
Their autoethnographic contributions adeptly intertwine personal trajectories with wider societal and pedagogical narratives, elucidating crucial themes across the region's terrains.
Latin America's English language pedagogy still trails behind on the global stage despite countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia bolstering the
This book explores the marginalization that English as additional language (EAL) learners, immigrant or language-minoritized people confront when learning to socialize into using the language of schooling. The authors examine racialized academic language not to dismiss it, but to scrutinize its presence and impact on individuals' lives.
Beginning with connections between eugenics, intelligence, whiteness, language, monolingualism and bilingualism, it then reviews current practices, and how th
This book presents a model of transformative, empowering and critically oriented language teacher education to prepare English teachers to implement Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT).
GELT's importance to learners' needs for communication in the globalized world means that it receives tremendous interest from language teacher educators worldwide, underlining the risks posed by gaps in teachers' knowledge of how to implement it. This book fills in those gaps, with accessible theoretica
While many books on ESL education are heavily theoretical, Teaching Across Borders blends research with personal classroom experience. The book not only offers clear, practical strategies but also shares real-world stories of success and struggle, demonstrating how these methods work in action. The accessible and encouraging tone resonates with teachers by respecting their professionalism and providing tools they can easily integrate into their teaching practice.
This book empowers teachers across content areas to help adolescents become confident readers and writers. Blending sociocognitive research and innovative strategies, the book shows how to foster inclusive literacy instruction, student agency, and meaningful engagement in today's literacy-rich world. At the heart of the book is a commitment to research-based literacy instruction that values the diverse languages and cultural practices students bring to the classroom and leverages scientific rese
