Meeting Description:

This panel explores L2 education discourses that support or hinder pedagogies
promoting language learning as situated communication practices. We understand
situated practices as learning how to become an effective member of a
community by gaining familiarity and some degree of control over its relevant
social processes and practices--including oral and written textual production
and interpretation--with recognition of the social, cultural, and historical
embeddedness of texts. Calls for teaching language and culture as integrated
and situated practices have recurred for over two decades, however, while
curricular responses to such appeals for change have been successful in
specific, localized instructional contexts, large-scale paradigm change has
not yet occurred, and traditional ideologies and practices continue to pervade
the field of L2 education. Furthermore, methods course materials and practices
continue to foreground historical perspectives and eclecticism, rather than
guide future teachers in systematic, in-depth exploration of a single,
principled approach that aligns with notions of language learning and use as
situated communication practices. Proposals are invited that examine the
current discursive landscape around L2 teaching and learning. Of particular
interest are papers that propose ways of moving the dominant discursive needle
forward toward effective paradigm change in L2 education.

The Modern Language Association annual convention is the largest scholarly
meeting in the humanities and brings together thousands of members to discuss
new research, participate in workshops, and build their professional networks.
The presidential theme for the convention is ‘Textual Transactions’. For more
