Abstract:

How teachers and students work together through discourse to construct
their understanding of the context they live and work in will influence, in
many different ways, the interaction within their classrooms. This book
describes an in-depth research that used ethnomethodology and conversation
analysis to study three different groups of teachers. The study highlights
the teachers' perspectives concerning heterogeneity in the classroom, using
recordings of discussions concerning cultural and linguistic diversity.

Moreover, this research examines the discourse participants' choice in the
use (deployment) of categorical descriptions and reveals the speaker as
positioned, interested and accountable for meaning construction. Thus,
«portraits» of differing pre-service and in-service teachers' orientation
towards linguistic and cultural diversity are analysed. By recognising
these categorizations as partially bounded by previous knowledge and
partially constructed in situ, the research sees meaning-making by teachers
as a part of their lived work of teaching. It also reveals the social
nature of these categorizations because they are an inseparable element of
the socially constituted fabric of language in the environment of schooling
and society.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
