This paper details the strategies used to build an Internationalization at Home (IaH) curriculum through the theme of foodways--and how the production, preparation and consumption of food relate to the construction of social identity--in two cultural studies classes at a private research university in the Northeastern United States. A qualitative…

The purpose of Jewish education is language acquisition in its broad and metaphorical sense. More precisely, Jewish education should create the conditions for the development of the capacity to produce language. Or more colloquially, Jewish education should help students become speakers of Jewish language. This article defends this idea,…

This study examined whether paternalistic attitudes persist in intercollegiate athletic contexts despite broader shifts away from paternalism across American higher education. We analyzed 98 Division I Power 5 team conduct policies using self-determination theory (SDT) to determine if they exhibited paternalistic attitudes. Findings revealed that…

Five educational researchers from diverse cultural and geographical contexts explore social invisibility through life-writing and narrative métissage (Chambers et al., 2008; Lowan-Trudeau, 2012). Weaving individual stories of unheard and unseen people and groups in their respective contexts, they encounter both connecting points and tensions among…

In this article, we present the asynchronous phases of digital mathematical discussions conducted along a didactic path on proof through the use of algebraic language with Grade 9 classes. We aim at characterising the digital environments where these discussions unfold (chat and Padlet) by examining students' asynchronous interactions, through the…

Social media, such as Facebook, is used not only as a communication tool but also as a space to maintain friendships and expand friend networks, particularly among adolescents. In response to this phenomenon, the current study investigates friendship dynamics among teenagers by analyzing the language used in their Facebook posts. To accomplish the…

This study investigated differences in adult-child language interactions when parents and their three-to-four-year old children engage in wordless book reading, text-and-picture book reading and a small-world toy play activity. Twenty-two parents recorded themselves completing each activity at home with their child. Parent input was compared…

To measure the international scholarly impact of researchers and institutions and develop effective predictive models, this study assesses the impact of English-language scholarly exchanges (English-language publication opportunities, international collaborations, and international tenure) on academic impact in non-native English-speaking…

For more than three decades, there has been a paradigm shift in approaches to the teaching of world languages in the classroom. The shift has been influenced heavily by the literature on second language acquisition and teaching as well as the development and implementation of the national standards for teaching and learning.

Using conversation data from 60 Mandarin-speaking children aged 4 to 6, obtained from the International Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES), the research employs a custom coding framework to analyze…

Mathematical problem-posing (MPP) offers an alternative to teacher-directed approaches by encouraging students to create and solve their own problems. While MPP is supported by the Australian Curriculum and empirical research has increased over the last decade, implementation in classrooms is still limited. Using The Theory of Practice…

This study aimed to explore the perceptions, lived experiences, and pedagogies of in-service teachers who are teaching culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students for the first time through interpretive phenomenological analysis. Based on qualitative data, the findings revealed that teachers demonstrated no discrimination or…

Mathematical communication, encompassing writing in, about, and for mathematics, is a critical competency. Defining excellent mathematical writing standards, however, remains challenging. To address this, we conducted a systematic review of 48 scholarly works on quality in mathematical writing. Our findings reveal mathematical writing for…
