The Racial Discourses Of Teacher Education Students In The Urban Southwest, Virginia Necochea
The Racial Discourses Of Teacher Education Students In The Urban Southwest, Virginia Necochea
Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs
This study seeks to understand the racial discourses of teacher education students (TES) in the urban Southwest. This study is needed given the current post-racial or 'we're beyond race' climate in the U.S. (Bonilla-Silva, 2009). This study adds to the discussion of whether or not TES are really 'beyond race.' By critically analyzing TES' racial discourses it is hoped that a deeper understanding can be gained as to how this specific population both conforms and resists current racial discourses in the US. Because discourse reveals how people understand and represent the world, interviewing participants was a key method used in …

An Institutional Ethnographic Account Of Mandatory Professional Development In New Mexico, Lanysha Adams
Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs
Current research has focused primarily on prescriptive models of professional development (PD), yet few have focused on teachers experiences of mandatory PD. Furthermore, researchers (Adams, 2014; Elmore, 2002; Hargreaves, 2011) have shown numerous points of disconnection between the prescribed policies for teacher PD and the de facto policies reflected in teachers' experiences of PD, leaving teachers' accounts of mandatory PD largely underexplored. The purpose of this study was to examine the institution of mandatory PD in New Mexico, exploring the characteristics of mandatory PD and full-time public high school teachers' perceptions of their PD experiences at one high school and …
English Language Education (Ele) As A Mark Of Social Distinction In Taiwan: Buxibans, Ele Teachers Discourse, And Social Reproduction, Yihfang Pan
Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs
The purpose of this study is to apply the lens of social reproduction theory to explore how English language educators view English language education (ELE) and to understand how the English language is used to create social distinctions between Taiwanese English language educators and others in Taiwanese society. Unlike other foreign languages, English enjoys a unique status and prestige in Taiwan because it is the preferred language for international communication. The belief in social mobility is the rationale for learning the English language. This study examines how the predominance of the English language creates internal conflicts and competition among groups. …
Words Flying On The Wind: Buriat Mongolian Children In A Chinese Bilingual School, Valerie Sartor
Words Flying On The Wind: Buriat Mongolian Children In A Chinese Bilingual School, Valerie Sartor
Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs
This study focused on the language socialization experiences non-mainstream Indigenous Buriat youth from the Republic of Buriatia, Russian Federation, encountered as they attended a bilingual school in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. They migrated in order to start language studies which would eventually allow them to study alternative Mongolian medicine in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Both the Russian Federation and the Republic of China are countries in transition. The Russian educational and economic systems have made dramatic changes after the fall of the Soviet Union in December 1991; currently, the economy and educational opportunities are in decline and there is a widening …
