Lydia Wilkes – College Composition and Communication, 2024
Avowing settler status positions settler scholars to join in storying less harmful futures for the discipline.

René Agustín De los Santos; Galvan de la Fuente; Saúl González Medina; Priscilla Nuñez Tapia – College Composition and Communication, 2020
We focus on the binational educational lives of Otros DREAMers students to address Keith Gilyard's insistence that if translingualism is to become an attractive alternative to scholars invested in combating pernicious language instruction, it must promote analyses that don't overlook or devalue the struggles of traditionally underrepresented…

Anne Ruggles Gere; Anne Curzan; J. W. Hammond; Sarah Hughes; Ruth Li; Andrew Moos; Kendon Smith; Kathryn Van Zanen; Kelly L. Wheeler; Crystal J. Zanders – College Composition and Communication, 2021
Critical language awareness offers one approach to communal "justicing," an iterative and collective process that can address inequities in the disciplinary infrastructure of Writing Studies. We demonstrate justicing in the field's pasts, policies, and publications; offer a model of communal revision; and invite readers to become agents…

Bonnie J. Williams-Farrier – College Composition and Communication, 2017
Code-switching pedagogies do not consider that some features of African American Verbal Tradition (AVT) are rhetorically effective mainstream communication structures in academic writing. My research asserts that when teaching language/ dialect difference in majority white school settings, contrastive analysis techniques such as these may have…

Katherine S. Flowers – College Composition and Communication, 2019
This article analyzes how public policymakers responded to CCCC's 1988 National Language Policy. While many treated CCCC as a leading critic of English-only policies, others interpreted the organization to be more of a hesitant critic, or even an outright ally of the English-only movement. Rather than cede rhetorical ground to monolingual…

Jerry Won Lee; Christopher Jenks – College Composition and Communication, 2016
Translingual dispositions, characterized by a general openness to plurality and difference in the ways people use language, are central for all users of English in a globalized society, and the fostering of such proclivities is an imperative to the contemporary composition classroom. In this article, we analyze student writing that emerged from a…

Jeffrey M. Ringer – College Composition and Communication, 2017
This study shows how the rhetorical form of the jeremiad emerges in academic writing produced by one evangelical Christian student.

Sarah Klotz – College Composition and Communication, 2017
This article proposes embodied and multimodal readings of student compositions from the Carlisle Indian Industrial School as a way to illuminate processes of assimilation and resistance. Drawing on Gerald Vizenor's concept of survivance and the ways that the field of composition has taken up Vizenor's work, I argue that the project remains…

Zak Lancaster – College Composition and Communication, 2016
Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein's writing textbook, "They Say / I Say," has triggered important debates among writing professionals. Not included within these debates, however, is the empirical question of whether the textbook's templates reflect patterns of language use in actual academic discourses. This article uses corpus-based…

Todd Ruecker; Stefan Frazier; Mariya Tseptsura – College Composition and Communication, 2018
The increasing diversity of US higher education has brought greater language diversity to institutions nationwide. While writing studies researchers have increasingly paid attention to the linguistic diversity of student writers, little attention has been paid to the growing numbers of writing teachers who speak English as a second language. This…

Sean Zwagerman – College Composition and Communication, 2015
This article analyzes the rhetoric of public attitudes toward composition, as represented in Stanley Fish's "Think Again" blog in the "New York Times" and in comments posted by his readers.

Zachary C. Beare; Marcus Meade – College Composition and Communication, 2015
Through an analysis of student writing and interviews, this article examines hyperbole as a neglected rhetorical device. The authors trouble notions of hyperbole as error and argue for a--reconceptualization of hyperbole as potentially highly communicative and able to convey emotional tone, passion, and significance while maintaining brevity.

Kaia L. Simon – College Composition and Communication, 2019
Although scholars have studied migrant children who translate for their families, less is known about how these experiences matter for life-long literacy experiences. This article argues that child language brokers develop advanced skills in literacy and rhetoric from which they draw throughout their lives, in multiple contexts.
