Teaching In A Multicultural And Demanding Society, Khalid Aada
Teaching In A Multicultural And Demanding Society, Khalid Aada
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
What does involve leading a new experience of teaching and learning under the new paradigm of a true knowledge society? Is it about mastering the teaching experience through critical reflection, or knowing the natural and social environment in its multiple interactions? Isn’t it about favoring an educational environment where students are not only limited to participate in a traditional way, but expect to find meaning to their learning experience and be able to build the acquired knowledge? This article allows to identify different stages in the new educational models within a multicultural environment. In other words, a field where teachers …
How To Promote Education For Sustainable Development? Vision Of The Educational Situation And Its Contribution To Sustainable Development., Khalid Aada
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
During the last decade, the importance of leaving a rational paradigm, debtor of functionalist and utilitarian models, towards another more congruent with the preservation of natural resources, and therefore of life, has been widely discussed. In the same way, different voices have been raised, pointing out the urgency of inserting these precepts into the educational field, hoping to achieve the true cultural transformation that is needed to consolidate the change. Multiple International Entities promote sustainability in Education as an initiative that should be ambitious, complex and reforming character, given the global scope of the social, economic and environmental situation affecting …
The Shape Of Translation Policy: A Comparison Of Policy Determinants In Bangor And Brownsville, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez
The Shape Of Translation Policy: A Comparison Of Policy Determinants In Bangor And Brownsville, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
RÉSUMÉ L’idée qu’il y a quelque chose que les chercheurs appellent «politique de traduction» existe depuis les tout débuts de ce domaine. Au fur et à mesure que les études avancent, de nouvelles perspectives continuent de contribuer à notre compréhension de l’évolution de la politique de traduction. D’une manière générale, ces études ont tendance à examiner de près le rôle que jouent les autorités dans la définition de la politique de traduction. Une telle approche a permis de dégager des perspectives utiles et, dans un avenir prévisible, elle continuera probablement d’offrir des perspectives enrichissantes. Mais souvent, la politique de traduction …
Translating To Change The Nation: The Case Of José Pedro Varela, A Reformer In Late 19th Century Uruguay, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez
Translating To Change The Nation: The Case Of José Pedro Varela, A Reformer In Late 19th Century Uruguay, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
The history of translation in Hispanic America can be segmented into specific historical periods that differ from those found in Europe, namely: encounter and conquest, the colonial period; pre-independence and emancipation; independence and republic; and an ongoing period that started in 1920 (Bastin, 2006). A great deal of work has been done regarding the first three of those periods. Later historical periods, while still receiving some scholarly attention, have not been the focus of as much research (cf. e.g., Montoya, 2014). This paper hopes to provide further insights on translation practices during the Independence and Republic Period by focusing on …
Linguistic Terrorism In The Borderlands: Language Ideologies In The Narratives Of Young Adults In The Rio Grande Valley, Katherine Christoffersen
Linguistic Terrorism In The Borderlands: Language Ideologies In The Narratives Of Young Adults In The Rio Grande Valley, Katherine Christoffersen
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
In the U.S./Mexico borderlands, local language varieties face frequent discrimination and delegitimization or “linguistic terrorism.” The present study uses the three-level positioning framework to analyze how young adults in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in south Texas construct borderland identities by positioning themselves with respect to “linguistic terrorism” in sociolinguistic interviews. In their narratives, young adults enact, ascribe, and accept but also reject, subvert, and reconstitute language ideologies, including national identities, raciolinguistic ideologies, and standard language ideologies. An understanding of these multiple and contradictory borderland positionalities holds important implications for critical language awareness as a way for language educators to …
On Not Taming The Wild Tongue: Challenges And Approaches To Institutional Translation In A University Serving A Historically Minoritized Population, Jose M. Davila-Montes, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez, Francisco Guajardo
On Not Taming The Wild Tongue: Challenges And Approaches To Institutional Translation In A University Serving A Historically Minoritized Population, Jose M. Davila-Montes, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez, Francisco Guajardo

A consequence of the development of modern states has been the concept of“minority” as used to refer to subsets of the population that are differentiated from that portion of the population which is seen as the “majority.” These minorities are at times distinguished from each other using terms such as national minorities and immigrant minorities. Some scholars have challenged the distinctions drawn by these constructs. An example of how such constructs are not always accurate can be found in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, where ethnic and linguistic, immigrant and national, minority and majority are not always clear cut. “The Valley,” …
Encouraging Languages Other Than English In First-Year Writing Courses: Experiences From Linguistically Diverse Writers, Alyssa G. Cavazos
Encouraging Languages Other Than English In First-Year Writing Courses: Experiences From Linguistically Diverse Writers, Alyssa G. Cavazos
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
First-Year Writing (fyw) courses are ideal writing spaces where students' diverse identities and language resources can flourish for specific rhetorical purposes. While research has focused on multilingual students' language and writing practices, little attention has focused on self-identified multilingual students' perceptions of language difference in fyw. Because fyw courses are an integral space in students' writing experiences and an ideal place to counter English-only ideologies, this article focuses on self-identified multilingual students' perceptions of how they negotiate language practices in academic contexts in higher education and how they perceive the role of languages other than English in fyw. Self-identified multilingual …
Undergirding Writing Centers' Responses To The Neoliberal Academy, Randall W. Monty
Undergirding Writing Centers' Responses To The Neoliberal Academy, Randall W. Monty
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
Writing centers are at once a part of and a response to the neoliberal academy, a phenomenon that Ryan King-White describes as a place where, “students have come to be regarded as customers, academic researchers are thought of as entrepreneurs competing for external grant funding, and the university itself more closely resembles a business model than an institute of higher learning” (223). Using that as a starting point, this essay functions part historiography, part diagnosis, and part synthesis, with three main goals: (1) redefine “neoliberalism” as a framework of critique for contemporary higher education within the United States, (2) diagnose …

El Francés Como Desafío Plurilingüistico En El Contexto Educativo De México, Khalid Aada
El Francés Como Desafío Plurilingüistico En El Contexto Educativo De México, Khalid Aada
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
Las políticas lingüísticas en México– tanto a nivel regional como nacional – carecen de claridad suficiente, y el francés ocupa un lugar insignificante o incluso inexistente debido a que cada Estado de la República adopta sus propias iniciativas de política lingüística, y donde la decisión sobre el aprendizaje del idioma extranjero se deja a cargo de cada institución, que tiende a tomar decisiones basadas sobre las demandas de su entorno y no sobre los principios del plurilingüismo y el pluriculturalismo (Silva, 2011)
