Abstract:
This book presents the results of research that focused on international
students receiving writing instruction on a US university campus. It
explores how the students developed their foreign-student identities and
their own ways of grappling with the unique issues they encountered as they
worked to improve their academic literacy skills. The book extends the
theoretical horizons of language socialization research by integrating
insights from other disciplinary frameworks, such as a translingual
approach, multilingual literacies and writing center theory, to explore
international students’ university experiences. By adopting these varied
lenses, the book provides readers with a more holistic, integrative and
ecological understanding of students’ language and literacy development.
The authors also investigate how a translingual pedagogy informs language
instructors and literacy instructors in facilitating multilingual students’
academic literacy development across a variety of codes, registers, genres,
modes and media.


Best,
Wendy Li
