Daly, Nicola; Kleker, Dorea; Short, Kathy G. – Language and Education, 2022
Children continuously engage in developing theories about how the world works as they inquire through play and interactions with others. In this study, we investigated children's in-process thinking in the form of working theories about language as they participated in engagements around dual language picturebooks in an afterschool club. Our…

Tour, Ekaterina; Barnes, Melissa – Language and Education, 2022
Language learners often require appropriate scaffolding to engage in digital multimodal composing to maximise its potential for learning. This illuminates the need for pre-service teachers to be ready for these experiences both on teaching placements and at the beginning of their careers. However, little is known about their readiness for digital…

García, Ofelia; Solorza, Cristian R. – Language and Education, 2021
Most U.S. educational reforms have narrowly focused on how to improve the ways in which students use language, and most specifically English. But in the last two decades, it is something called "academic language" that has permeated all education discourse. Here we discuss the development of the construct of academic language and the…

Jensen, Bryant; Valdés, Guadalupe – Language and Education, 2021
We identify contributions in this special issue in terms of two essential ways of threading systemic change for language equity in schools: theories/concepts from school governance down to classroom practice, and values/morals from practical realities in classrooms up. We characterize 'language equity' as a sense of belonging and meaningful…

Second, we outline our methodology, which…

Back, Michele; Han, Mihyun; Weng, Shih-Chieh – Language and Education, 2020
Despite a large body of literature on foreign language learning anxiety and emerging research on translanguaging, research on the role of translanguaging on the socioemotional experiences of emergent multilingual learners (EMLLs) is minimal at best. Yet the persistent academic and emotional difficulties of EMLLs in K-12 US schools urge a closer…

The data collected from kindergarten…

Daugaard, Hanne Trebbien; Nielsen, Anne-Mette Veber; Juul, Holger – Language and Education, 2020
Research suggests that readers learn about word meanings from the various contexts of words in texts. Therefore, context clue instruction is often recommended as a way of boosting students' word learning skills. Ideally, such instruction should focus on context clue types that are common in authentic texts. We examined the prevalence of context…

Boyd, Maureen P.; Janicki-Gechoff, Emma – Language and Education, 2020
This paper defines the notion of "dialogic local space" and highlights its importance to teaching and learning. A dialogic local space values multiple local realities as it invites us to listen to, take up, and have confidence in our own local everyday and personal realities, and to listen to, consider, and respond to other local…

Jeung, Han Hee; Kellogg, David – Language and Education, 2019
The work of L.S. Vygotsky was popularised in the West between two great waves of educational thought: constructivism and cognitivism. Reception was therefore colored by three metaphors introduced by Jerome Bruner: 'construction', 'scaffolding' and 'narrative'. Narratives were to be characterized by features we call SELF: Subjects, Expectancy and…

Tadic, Nadja – Language and Education, 2019
Educators have long been advocating for the appropriation of students' interests into the classroom as a means of promoting participation and learning. However, little attention has been paid to the possible issues that interest-driven pedagogy might engender for both teachers and students through its blend of the personal and academic. This…
