Direct linkRyan, Ulrika; Källberg, Petra Svensson; Boistrup, Lisa Björklund – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2021
In this, paper we attend to epistemological potentials of multilingual language use and mathematics in connection to the 'language-as-resource' idea and how the idea is actualised in Swedish mathematics education contexts. In this paper we develop and propose a framework for considering different epistemological potentials for multilingual…

Caron, France; Fellus, Osnat; Glanfield, Florence; Phakeng, Mamokgethi Setati; Maheux, Jean-Francois – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2017
Prior to the 2016 Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group/Groupe Canadien D'étude En Didactique Des Mathématiques (CMESG/GCEDM) meeting at Queen's University in Kingston a Pre-Conference session was organised to discuss the theme of "Challenges and opportunities related to linguistic and cultural diversity in research and publishing /…

Geiger, Vince; Straesser, Rudolf – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2015
This article developed from a request by a German mathematics educator (Rudolf) to an Australian colleague (Vince) for a language check of an international conference presentation. Because of a history of cooperation, Rudolf trusted that Vince could provide a faithful translation. Vince happily accepted but had two reservations: he did not wish to…

Dawkins, Paul Christian – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2012
Weber and Alcock's (2004, 2009) syntactic/semantic framework provides a useful means of delineating two basic categories of proof-oriented activity. They define their dichotomy using Goldin's (1998) theory of representation systems. In this paper, I intend to clarify the framework by providing criteria for classifying student reasoning into…

Parks, Amy Noelle – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2009
I adopt a poststructural perspective to argue that the current focus in mathematics education on measuring, reducing, and explaining the achievement gap is dangerous and can be counter-productive to the equity-oriented arguments that those mobilizing "gap" language want to make. The reiteration of the achievement gap in scholarly arguments can…

Farrugia, Marie Therese – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2009
Classroom mathematics in Malta is generally communicated through code-switching between the national language Maltese and the country's second language English. This is because not all mathematical words have Maltese equivalents and furthermore, mathematics textbooks are UK publications. I consider the language used for spoken communication and…
