Understanding Young People's Writing Development
This collection offers an inclusive, multifaceted look at individual students’ patterns of writing trajectories, as well as their development of an identity as a writer. Building on rare longitudinal research, this translated text explores how adolescents learn subjects through writing and learn writing through subjects. Contributors consider issues relating to different forms of writing and grapple with students’ ambivalence or resistance to this at school, together offering an examination of how the education system can rise to the challenge of offering today’s students meaningful and appropriate writing instruction. Bringing knowledge from writing researchers and educational researc...
It NU
Internettet i 2.0-udgaven rummer mange muligheder til gavn for sprogundervisningen, men samtidig problemer og udfordringer.Dette nummer af Sprogforum ser blandt andet nAermere pa den globale spilindustri, der producerer spil med stor fascinationskraft, som anvendes i undervisningen, men hvor hverken lAeringsmal eller pAedagogok indgar i konceptet. Et andet emne er dominansen af engelsksprogede spil som udkonkurrerer sprog med mindre udbredelse. Et tredje er at fascinationen af de nye tekniske muligheder kan skygge for de pAedagogiske formal og gore den kritiske sans og selvstAendige stillingtagen hjemlos. Den storste pAedagogiske udfordring er maske at opovelsen til analyse, kritik og refleksion, som er knyttet til de langsomme medier, lAesning og skrivning, ogsa skal dyrkes i forhold til de nye medier, hvor der ikke er mindre brug for den. Det er derfor med god grund, at flere af bidragene efterlyser en sprogpAedagogik, der tager udfordringen fra de nye medier op, og indtAenker dem i undervisningens formal og metoder.

Looks at the teaching of language and culture in a globalized world.
Representations of the World in Language Textbooks
This book presents a new and comprehensive framework for the analysis of representations of culture, society and the world in textbooks for foreign and second language learning. The framework is transferable to other kinds of learning materials and to other subjects. The framework distinguishes between five approaches: national studies, citizenship education studies, cultural studies, postcolonial studies and transnational studies. In a series of concrete analyses, the book illustrates how one can describe and uncover representations of the world in textbooks for English, German, French, Spanish, Danish and Esperanto. Each analysis is accompanied by suggestions of possible supplements and changes. The book points to the need for language learning materials to deal seriously with knowledge about the world, including its diversities and problems.

The Digital Reading Condition
This volume offers a critical overview of digital reading practices and scholarly efforts to analyze and understand reading in the mediatized landscape. Building on research about digital reading, born-digital literature, and digital audiobooks, The Digital Reading Condition explores reading as part of a broader cultural shift encompassing many forms of media and genres. Bringing together research from media and literary studies, digital humanities, scholarship on reading and learning, as well as sensory studies and research on multimodal and multisensory media reception, the authors address and challenge print-biased conceptions of reading that are still prevalent in research, whether the r...
Language and Culture
The book presents a new theory of the relationship between language and culture in a transnational and global perspective. The fundamental view is that languages spread across cultures, and cultures spread across languages, or in other words, that linguistic and cultural practices flow through social networks in the world along partially different paths and across national structures and communities.
Foreign/second Language Pedagogy Research

Interactional Categorization and Gatekeeping
This book is about categorization processes in native/non-native workplace interaction, within the context of internship interviews between Danish employers and second language speakers who were born abroad. In this volume, which is one of the first books on gatekeeping, Tranekjær seeks to address processes of power and ideology from a conversation analytical perspective. The book examines the challenges that non-native internship candidates face in processes of employment when employers and job-counsellors seek to conceptualize, categorize and address the candidates’ linguistic, ethnic and religious otherness. The book shows how processes of categorization are influenced by broader structures of ideology related to social issues of controversy and debate such as migration, integration and second-language learning. The book also includes an overview of previous gatekeeping studies and proposes a redefinition of the term, which suggests a broader meaning and relevance of the notion.
