Beschreibung

This book presents the results of research that focused on international students receiving writing instruction on a US university campus. It explores how the students developed their foreign-student identities and their own ways of grappling with the unique issues they encountered as they worked to improve their academic literacy skills. The book extends the theoretical horizons of language socialization research by integrating insights from other disciplinary frameworks, such as a translingual approach, multilingual literacies and writing center theory, to explore international students' university experiences. By adopting these varied lenses, the book provides readers with a more holistic, integrative and ecological understanding of students' language and literacy development. The authors also investigate how a translingual pedagogy informs language instructors and literacy instructors in facilitating multilingual students' academic literacy development across a variety of codes, registers, genres, modes and media.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This exciting and innovative edited volume is the much-needed answer to the question of what socially responsible multilingual literacy practices in internationalized higher education look like. By viewing the socialization of academic discourse through an asset-based approach, the contributing authors have effectively focused their analyses of multilingual literacy practices on international students' linguistic and cultural resources. A must-read for all those interested in multilingual literacies in these contexts. * Jim McKinley, University College London, UK * This volume offers valuable insights into academic discourse socialization in the context of international student mobility. Theoretically and methodologically innovative approaches are utilized to explore the complex and often contested socialization processes through which multilingual learners develop languages, literacies, and identities as part of global study and careers. * Amanda Kibler, Oregon State University, USA * In this timely collection, skillfully edited by De Costa, Li, and Lee, contributors examine the multilingual literacy practices of international students in a large US university. By honoring the linguistic resources and cultural identities of these students, the contributors offer exciting new insights about academic discourse socialization relevant to 21st Century institutions. * Bonny Norton, University of British Columbia, Canada *
