Johnson, Sarah – Composition Forum, 2022
Scholars in writing studies have positioned numerous critiques of the tacit myth of Standard English (*SE) and its use as an unquestioned communicative norm. While these critiques reflect the overlap of the field's translingualism and anti-racist writing assessment movements, they also reveal an empirical need surrounding the writing instructors…

Nassif, Lama; Basheer, Nesrine – Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2022
Developing sociolinguistic competence in Arabic can be a complex process given how Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Colloquial Arabic (CA) are used within a changing sociolinguistic environment in Arabic-speaking communities.

Daniels, Julia R.; Varghese, Manka – Educational Researcher, 2020
In this essay, we argue that teacher education is increasingly marginalizing the relevance of teacher subjectivity and recentering Whiteness, especially in its uptake of practice-based teacher education.

The participants were ELA PSTs in both middle grades and high…

Havva Zorluel Ozer – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Translanguaging, an emergent theoretical orientation to language, has become a widely discussed topic in writing studies with the rise of translingual movement in composition.

Beaudrie, Sara; Amezcua, Angelica; Loza, Sergio – Language Testing, 2019
Critical language awareness (CLA) is increasingly identified as a central component of the Spanish heritage language (SHL) classroom (Leeman, 2005; Martínez, 2003; among others). As a minority language, SHL is subject to sociopolitical, cultural, and economic forces that devalue its status. It is devalued in the eyes of the public, as a legitimate…

Although standard language ideologies have been well researched and theorized, the practices that lead to the reproduction and enactment of these ideologies deserve attention.

Shipman, Barbara A. – PRIMUS, 2013
This article analyzes four questions on the meaning of uniqueness that have contrasting answers in common language versus mathematical language.

Research on Arabic as a foreign language has centered on studying students' attitudes toward the problems of learning Arabic as a foreign/second language.

As the result of global changes, government policy and university initiatives, institutions of higher education in Canada have become increasingly linguistically and racially diverse.

Kinloch, Valerie – Teachers College Record, 2010
Background/Context: Although progress has been made since members of the Conference on College Composition and Communication passed the Students' Right to Their Own Language resolution (1974), there still remains a demand to examine youth perceptions of language.
