The purpose of this article is to share the examination of inclusivity as a paradigm for fostering authenticity and agency (Moore, 2017) among teacher candidates. This framing challenges the notion of inclusion as a tool of meritocracy used to manage learners through expectations that uphold monolingualism, decenter racial histories, and rely on…

Connie Siebold – TESOL Journal, 2024
Multilingual education and acculturation research share a parallel history of problematic research paradigms that center the majority viewpoint and view minorities through a lens of deficit. This continual pathology of cultural difference has led to the pathologization of minority individuals, and has hampered our efforts to effectively understand…

Valentina Migliarini; María Cioè-Peña – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2024
This paper analyzes how language is framed as a route to full inclusion, particularly for unaccompanied asylum-seeking students labelled as disabled. It is based on a qualitative study carried out in the Italian city of Rome, which, although cosmopolitan, is often characterised by nationalistic political landscapes. The manuscript reveals how…

Luis F. Cisneros – HOW, 2024
Learning a foreign language incorporates cognitive, communicative, emotional, and social aspects. Some of these aspects have to do with the structure of the language being studied; some others deal with social and psychological issues that influence the environment where the learning process takes place. This reflection paper addresses various…

Thomsen, Stephan L.; Weilage, Insa – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2023
Language skills are central to refugee integration and the availability of language courses could thus be a limiting factor. We explore how the most important provider of language courses in Germany, adult education centers (VHS), adapted their course supply to the refugee wave of 2015/2016. Our results highlight two channels through which the…

Because of the quickening pace of globalisation, recent years have witnessed a rise of bilingualism throughout the world. Prior research has documented a range of cognitive benefits and costs of being bilingual. The current work uncovers another potential positive side of being bilingual: the control of overconfidence in peer-comparison problems.…

Aman, Robert; Dahlstedt, Magnus – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2023
This article scrutinises the ways in which pupils who have experienced transnational migration construct 'home' and the unmaking of 'home'. Researchers have argued that migrants' perspectives on belonging are seldom granted scholarly attention. Here, we seek to redress this oversight by inquiring about the ways in which newly arrived migrants…

Sarvenaz Balali – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Cultural discontinuity is recognized as a culturally motivated academic process where sociocultural behaviors and communicative skills valued in the home culture of students are discontinued at school thus resulting in their low academic performance.

Smartphones accompany international students as they adapt to different contexts during their stay abroad.

Our study investigates this phenomenon with a language and social psychology approach and explores the role of Cantonese ability and communication with locals.
