Discursive Practice in Language Learning and Teaching Paperback / softback
by Richard F. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) Young
Part of the Language Learning Monograph series
Paperback / softback
Description
Discursive Practice is a theory of the linguistic and socio-cultural characteristics of recurring episodes of face-to-face interaction; episodes that have social and cultural significance to a community of speakers.
This book examines the discursive practice approach to language-in-interaction, explicating the consequences of grounding language use and language learning in a view of social realities as discursively constructed, of meanings as negotiated through interaction, of the context-bound nature of discourse, and of discourse as social action.
The book also addresses how participants' abilities in a specific discursive practice may be learned, taught, and assessed.
