Book Description
This book presents an analysis derived from data collected across South Africa, Brazil, and Switzerland, focusing on multilingual academic writing through translanguaging. Exclusive to university students from these nations, it examines the disparity between thinking in one language and writing in another. Addressing the challenges faced by non-native language writers, it advocates for acknowledging student voices and identities in the decolonization of academic writing. While briefly touching on code-switching, often deemed obsolete, this book reframes it within the context of university-level academic writing across the three countries. Its primary objective is to illustrate how translanguaging, along with voice and identity, can be integrated into writing practices for non-native language speakers. Offering practical strategies for educators, the research reveals student anxieties surrounding identity loss and voice neglect in academic settings. Ultimately, it suggests that accommodating multilingual students can alleviate their writing-related stress, fostering a more inclusive academic environment. Professor Adelia Carstens commended the book for its valuable insights into translanguaging, predicting a favorable reception worldwide.

The Semiotics of New Spaces
Author: Charlyn Dyers
Publisher: AFRICAN SUN MeDIA
ISBN: 1928357989
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
In South Africa, the township or sub-economic state housing development has achieved a very significant position as a site for sociolinguistic research. The Semiotics of New Spaces ? Languaging and Literacy Practices in one South African Township looks at the ways in which people are responding, through their semiotic practices, to the intense socio-historical changes taking place in post?apartheid South Africa. The study is set against the backdrop of Wesbank ? one of the first racially mixed housing developments in the Western Cape. The result is a range of related topics, such as how cross-cultural and crosslinguistic families influence the language practices of their younger members; the impact of translingual friendships on language practices and attitudes; the ways in which older people use their existing literacies to negotiate the multilingual realities of the township and aspects such as identity, voice and agency as markers of a developing participatory citizenship.

Lessons from the Kalahari
Author: Monica Hendricks
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527550362
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Lessons from the Kalahari: Tracking Teachers’ Professional Development explores how Northern Cape teachers, who were enrolled in a Bachelor of Education (in-service) course, responded to three professional-development modules specialising in mathematics education, English language teaching, and Foundation Phase teaching, respectively. Mainly through fine-grained analyses of their classroom practice, the studies in this volume demonstrate how these teachers grappled with new content knowledge and pedagogical innovations to improve the quality of teaching in their classrooms. The chapters include case studies that range across a variety of pedagogical topics, including mathematics and English teachers’ classroom practices, involvement of parents of Foundation Phase learners, and learners’ autonomous mathematics learning. The book makes an original, empirically-based contribution to the understanding of the challenges confronting primary and secondary school teachers in remote rural parts of Northern Cape province, South Africa.

Nelson Mandela
Author: Crain Soudien
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9463009086
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
The death of Nelson Mandela, the great South African fighter for freedom, in December 2013 prompted several colleagues within the World Council of Comparative Education Societies community to come together to think about the significance of his life and his work for education. This book is the result of that coming together. The contributing authors reflect on what his life, the commitments he made and principally the values he took into the struggle for freedom in South Africa mean for education. The point of departure for the book is that of honouring the man. It begins with the argument that the values for which he stood, namely, the unconditional dignity of all human beings, respect for difference and principally his lifelong commitment to justice, have a special significance for how we as inhabitants of an increasingly connected and interdependent world conduct our personal lives, our relationships with one another and with the material and living space which surrounds us. It is an ecological approach. As the world moves into a twenty-first century where, paradoxically, we know so much and yet appear to understand so little, and so find ourselves struggling to create social lives in which all of us can feel respected, can offer respect to others and live lives free of fear and anxiety, the values for which he stood have specific relevance for how we do the important job of teaching and what we put into it. Mandela poses deeply provocative questions about the kinds of lives we seek for ourselves and for everybody else around us.

Translanguaging, Coloniality and Decolonial Cracks
Author: Robyn Tyler
Publisher: Channel View Publications
ISBN: 1800412002
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
In this linguistic ethnography of bilingual science learning in a South African high school, the author connects microanalyses of classroom discourse to broader themes of de/coloniality in education. The book challenges the deficit narrative often used to characterise the capabilities of linguistically-minoritised youth, and explores the challenges and opportunities associated with leveraging students’ full semiotic repertoires in learning specific concepts. The author examines the linguistic landscape of the school and the beliefs and attitudes of staff and students which produce both coloniality and cracks in the edifice of coloniality. A critical translanguaging lens is applied to analyse multilingual and multimodal aspects of students’ science meaning-making in a traditional classroom and a study group intervention. Finally, the book suggests implications for decolonial pedagogical translanguaging in Southern multilingual classrooms.

Multilingual classroom contexts
Author: Prof Christa van der Walt
Publisher: African Sun Media
ISBN: 1991201710
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
By far the majority of South African students get their schooling in a second language, which means that our classrooms are multilingual. This state of affairs is not exclusive to our country, as can be seen in the many academic conferences on multilingual learning and teaching. Terms like translanguaging and biliteracy appear in many articles and books that discuss the role language in education. What makes the multilingual nature of our South African classrooms challenging, is the fact that many learners switch from one language of learning and teaching to another at various points in their school career: from home language to English or Afrikaans after the foundation phase, from one language of learning and teaching to another when they move to new schools, high school or tertiary institutions. This book is an attempt to highlight the transitions; from home to school, from foundation to intermediate phase, from primary to high school, and from high school to tertiary institutions.
