International Students' Multilingual Literacy Practices : An Asset-based Approach to Understanding Academic Discourse Socialization, Paperback / softback Book

International Students' Multilingual Literacy Practices : An Asset-based Approach to Understanding Academic Discourse Socialization Paperback / softback

Edited by Peter I. De Costa, Wendy Li, Jongbong Lee

Part of the New Perspectives on Language and Education series

Paperback / softback

Description

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.
