Applications of Nexus Analysis to Investigating Educational Policy and Practice

Francis M. Hult

University of Texas at San Antonio



Research seminar organised by the MOSAIC Centre for Research on Multilingualism

School of Education (Room G39), University of Birmingham, 11:00 –
13:00, June 12, 2012



The hallmark of educational linguistics is its problem-centered
approach to issues in language (in) education.  These practical
problems or issues are often complex in nature, mediated by a
confluence of factors from individual to sociopolitical scales and
everything in between—all interconnected

This workshop presents nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004) as a
meta-methodology for addressing these kinds of issues in educational
linguistic research.



Further details are on the abstract attached.



If you are interested in participating in this event, please contact
the seminar organisers: Marilyn Martin-Jones m.martinjones at bham.ac.uk
