This inquiry into the location of the linguistic repertoire was driven by a pedagogical encounter with mounting putty, the white adhesive used to attach materials to another surface. This encounter began at a community writing center during a writing workshop I was teaching on poesía bilingüe when children took up the putty, creating objects that…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, including large language models (LLMs) that can generate novel text output, present promise for creating tailored science communication for broad audiences. However, LLMs might reflect inaccuracies and social biases from their training sources. In this work, we examine the promises and…

Background: New teachers often question whether they possess the knowledge and skills needed to support their students in addressing the challenges of the 21st century. The issue is further complicated by the necessity of understanding linguistically diverse education, second language acquisition, special education needs, neurodiversity and the…

Students with disabilities (SWD) continue to experience poorer postschool employment outcomes compared to their nondisabled peers, particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Career and Technical Education (CTE) has been associated with improved academic and employment outcomes for SWD, yet research on their…

Prior research indicates that first-year engineering students' perception of faculty encouragement positively influences their confidence in academic abilities and persistence in engineering programs. The Faculty Encouragement Scale (FES), developed by Hsu, Li, and Acosta in 2021, is the only validated tool measuring students' perceptions of…

This article places young people at the center of knowledge production in study abroad programs. We employ a combination of relational learning and nested community of practice to demonstrate the significant roles that local young people play in cultural exchange, despite the usual marginalization by their parents and other local figures of…

Adult education and learning in Germany are under pressure from attempts by right-wing extremist actors to increase their influence on structures, target groups, and programmes. This paper presents qualitative data from a survey of actors in different adult education and learning areas. They report on various incidents of right-wing influence.…

Cooperation in conversation is usually managed by the turn-taking mechanism where the interlocutors' turns are done according to certain rules, the most important of which is that one and only one speaker speaks at a time. And since talk can be used as a cure for the people who have troubles in their life, psychotherapy uses the field of…

This paper seeks to outline and describe the features of Ewe causative verbs and how they encode causative events. It explores the sub-lexical analysis of verbs' meanings since they form the basis of the classification of causal relations that allow us to explore the different imports between (sub-)events and how these events are structured, and…

Future MLIS graduates need to be collaborative, creative, socially innovative, flexible, and adaptable problem solvers--characteristics demonstrated by people with backgrounds in design. Yet design, especially as an epistemological framework, seems underrepresented in master's level library education. This work explores the current landscape of…

This chapter provides a primer on the evolution of terminology used to classify the Latinx/a/o population in the United States, the origins of the term "Latinx," and an analysis of how community colleges currently use the term.

In the process of internationalization of universities, the articulation between local and global contexts depends on various factors including that of linguistic capital, that is to say, the sum of resources and language skills that allow stakeholders, teachers, researchers and students to participate in different levels of knowledge flows. To…

This research aimed to establish a pedagogically useful list of the most frequent opaque idioms in English news. It began by compiling an idiom search list from six prestigious idiom dictionaries. Through a set of criteria, 4,864 semantically non-compositional idioms were culled as search entries to interrogate the News on the Web (NOW)…

Purpose: Although language sample analysis is widely recommended for assessing children's expressive language, few school-based speech-language pathologists routinely use it, citing a lack of time, resources, and training (Pavelko, Owens, Ireland, & Hahs-Vaughn, 2016). The purpose of this clinical tutorial is (a) to describe options for…

Successful language use requires the ability to process nonadjacent dependencies (NADs) that occur in linguistic input. Learning such structural regularities seems therefore crucial for children, and researchers have indeed proposed that language problems in children with developmental language disorder (DLD), especially problems with grammar, are…
