Cushing, Ian – Curriculum Journal, 2023

Brea-Spahn, María Rosa; Bauler, Clara Vaz – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: Ideologies are like rocks onto which individuals and institutions anchor their thoughts about what it means to be an "ideal language user" and what "standardized languaging" is. These deeply ingrained beliefs, influenced by colonial legacies and sociopolitical contexts, invisibly enforce a hierarchical order between…

Olson-Wyman, Samantha L. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
International schools, which are often rich with linguistic diversity, typically promote that proficiency in an accepted standard variety of English is the desired and favored outcome for students (Hayden & Thompson, 2016; Spiers, 2016). These schools, in part due to the teachers they employ, could be characterized as systems that promote…

Joshua Cruz; Kate T. Anderson – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
We propose a novel method for repurposing online course discussion posts to explore educators' language ideologies. Drawing on asynchronous discussion posts from a subset of 30 educators enrolled in an online, masters-level, sociolinguistics-for-educators course at a US Southwest university, we "smooth" posts into a dialogue resembling a…

Sevinç, Yesim; Anthonissen, Christine – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Recent research on multilingualism and emotions in the immigrant context indicates that negative emotions such as anxiety related to monolingual or cultural norms may prevail in immigrants' daily lives. Immigrants may respond to negative emotions with avoidance, for instance by avoiding using the language that makes them anxious. This study…

Ian Cushing – Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2023
Educational linguists across England and the USA have long critiqued deficit-based language ideologies in schools, yet since the early 2010s, these have enjoyed a marked resurgence in England's education policy as evident in discourses, funding, and pedagogical materials related to the so-called 'word gap.' This article conceptualizes the word gap…

Snell, Julia; Cushing, Ian – Literacy, 2022
International studies of talk-intensive (or 'dialogic') pedagogies have demonstrated that children who experience academically challenging classroom discussion ('dialogue') make greater progress than their peers who have not had this experience. In England, gains in achievement have been greatest for pupils from less privileged socio-economic…

Lawton, Rachele; de Kleine, Christa – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2020
In spite of years of sociolinguistic research establishing that all language varieties are valid and equal, there is a disconnect between this knowledge and pedagogical practices at the college level. Certain Englishes, particularly those of minoritized speakers, are stigmatized, and "standard" English is upheld as the goal of writing…

Hendricks, Alison Eisel; Jimenez, Carolyn – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: For many school-age children, teachers are the first professionals to refer for speech/language services. However, many speech-language pathologists note that students without language disorders who speak non-mainstream American English (NMAE) dialects are referred to speech/language evaluation. This research note presents results of a…

Students classified as English language learners (ELLs), many of whom are also Hispanic/Latiné/x, are at times excluded from opportunities to engage in engineering design experiences due to the emphasis on learning English.
