McConnel, Jen – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021

Abbas, Lalai; de Leon, Clarissa; Luce-Kapler, Rebecca – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2020
This paper explores the interactive quality of memories and how they lived on in the dataset of a two-year study conducted several years ago, in which a group of women engaged in close reading and memoir-writing practices, unpacking their personal memories to gain insight into their lived experiences. In the process of analysing the data from the…

In this paper we highlight findings from a teacher inquiry group study designed to explore possibilities for teaching contemporary Canadian literature to promote issues of social justice in secondary classrooms.

Sung, Chit Cheung Matthew – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2013
As the English language has become a global lingua franca today, it is not surprising that changes in attitudes and perceptions towards learning English in the international context have taken place at the same time. In this paper, I critically examine the notion of "integrative motivation" in the literature of second language (L2)…

Luce-Kapler, Rebecca; Catlin, Susan; Sumara, Dennis; Kocher, Philomene – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2011
In this paper, the authors investigate the enduring power of voice as a concept in writing pedagogy. They argue that one can benefit from considering Elbow's assertion that both text and voice be considered as important aspects of written discourse. In particular, voice is a powerful metaphor for the material, social and historical nature of…

In this article, we focus on the use of the visual for reflection in "alternative" pre-service teacher education and, in particular, we address the question: "How and what can we learn about teacher education using the visual?"

Robson, Claire; Sumara, Dennis; Luce-Kapler, Rebecca; Coll, Bridget; Hogan, Pat; Hurst, Greta; Innes, Val; Morrissey, Chris; Spencer, Chris – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2010
For a number of years, Rebecca Luce-Kapler and Dennis Sumara have been investigating the ways in which literary practices of close reading can help change how we think and how we remember. They have also considered how such practices might help make us more critical of normative representations of remembered experience. More recently, they have…
