This book presents pseudo-retranslations as a new phenomenon of translational intertextuality, revealing how pseudo-retranslations establish large networks of intertextuality across academic works, how academic authors have recourse to this procedure as they create their academic texts, and how pseudo-retranslations contribute to the dissemination of translation-distorted scholarly knowledge and lead to epistemically polluted academic ecosystems. Pseudo-retranslation can be defined as an academic author's partial or complete exploitation of another academic author's translation and presenting it as a retranslation of the source text. This phenomenon, first documented in Yildiz (2021), arises from academic authors'failure to refer to or translate primary sources – particularly in English. Since there occurs no actual retranslation process, this procedure is called pseudo-retranslation. Using a range of academic texts from the Turkish context as case studies, the author presents the integral constituents of this phenomenon, and the behavioural patterns of its renderers. This book will be of particular interest to academics and postgraduates in the field of translation studies and (corpus) linguistics.

This book supports the development of academic, personal, and professional skills for students of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). It aims to demystify aspects of learning and writing practices and can be used by students as a practical resource to enhance their engagement with education and to support their success on their programmes. The book guides students in a range of areas to help their academic development including study techniques, time management, managing groupwork, understanding assessment requirements, academic writing and how to work effectively within a digital learning environment. In addition, the book features a strong personal and professional development dimension which enables readers to engage in a process of self-inquiry as part of their learning. This self-inquiry is important to understanding assumptions about learning and can help students to explore their prior educational experiences and to identify their particular motivations and challenges. The book extends this self-inquiry to support the development of reflective practice which is key to enhancing students'learning and to enabling the ongoing professional development and practice of the ECEC educator. While many ECEC undergraduate programmes offer academic guidance to students, there is a gap for a more embedded academic support which is discipline specific and therefore more closely attuned to the needs of the ECEC student and the emerging needs of the sector. In addition to providing a resource for students and practitioners, this book can also serve as a useful resource for lecturers in the ECEC discipline. Its accompanying site contains downloadable templates from the book which provide a range of activities and prompts suitable for engaging students in thinking about their learning and writing about their professional practice.

This book uses a linguistically and stylistically grounded analytical approach to written discourse to explain the patterns that appear when evaluating academic essays, and to explore the potential of ‘nativized'linguistic tendencies as strategies in written communication. As'linguistic behaviour', these strategies constitute a multinorm, and the author argues that comprehensive awareness of a written norm in a multilingual context is not about language rules for ironing out inequalities, but rather about varieties of linguistic practices that construct alternative strategies and patterns in written discourse. The book combines topics such as study skills, English as a Second Language and English for Academic Purposes, but grounds them within a World Englishes and syntactic paradigm, exploring why students write in a certain way due to their linguistic instincts, as well as helping students to see practical examples of what this means from the immediate perspective of sentence construction. It will be of interest to scholars of Education, Language and Linguistics, Study Skills, EAP and World Englishes, as well as students across disciplines who are encountering the academic essay as a form for the first time.

This book examines the experiences of adult ESL (English as a Second Language) learners in New York, paying particular attention to the relationship between their professional identities and multimodal composing practices in English classroom. The author uses an (auto-)ethnographic framework to investigate how previously-constructed identities of a professional nature aided the students in the design of multimodal texts including photographs and written material in English. This small-scale study is contextualised in relation to current research in the fields of multimodality, identity construction and teaching methodology, and the author also draws on Kress'theory of visual semiotics. Finally, the book provides detailed descriptions and suggestions for multimodal lessons which could be delivered in ESL classrooms in other settings, including multimodal roleplays, theatre games, and model discussion questions and answers. This book will be of interest to ESL/EFL and TESOL researchers and practitioners, as well as pre-service teachers and MA TESOL students.

This book brings together multiple theoretical perspectives and disciplinary approaches to study the acquisition and development of written language by children as well as the implications for teaching and learning of writing practices in a variety of languages and cultural contexts. Chapters in this contributed volume present both theoretical contributions and results of research carried out with students and teachers from 11 countries (Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, UK and USA) who speak seven different languages: Portuguese, Spanish, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Hebrew. By bringing together research developed in diverse cultural contexts it enriches the debates in the interdisciplinary field of writing studies by analyzing a wide range of topics at the interface between research and educational implications for the teaching and learning of writing by children. The book consists of five parts, each one addressing a specific set of topics. Part I presents studies on topics related to written language representation systems (phonological and morphological awareness) and on the relationship between grammar and the quality of texts of different genres. Part II includes studies related to compositional processes of writing texts, and the factors involved in these processes. Part III focuses on the difficulties faced by students during the acquisition and development of writing. Part IV is dedicated to chapters that discuss and compare writing practices in different social environments. Finally, chapters in part V deal with teaching and learning of writing in the school setting. Development of Writing Skills in Children in Diverse Cultural Contexts: Contributions to Teaching and Learning will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of psychology, education and linguistics, as well as to other social scientists in the broader interdisciplinary field of writingstudies.

This book shows how behavior analysis can be applied to teaching reading and writing to primary school students and to special populations, such as children with intellectual and hearing disabilities and illiterate adults. Originally published in Portuguese, this contributed volume is now translated into English and presents for the first time to international researchers and students a comprehensive overview of a research program developed for more than three decades in Brazil which gave birth to a unique teaching program based on the concept of stimulus equivalence: the Learning to Read and Write in Small Steps. The book is divided into four parts. The first part presents the theoretical framework and the historical context in which the teaching program was developed by the group led by Drs. Julio Cesar de Rose and Deisy das Graças de Souza, currently organized in the National Institute of Science and Technology on Behavior, Cognition, and Learning (INCT/ECCE). The second part describes the modules that make up the Learning to Read and Write in Small Steps teaching program. The third part presents results of empirical research conducted with children with intellectual and hearing disabilities and illiterate adults. Finally, the fourth part presents contributions from other areas of knowledge – such as speech therapy, linguistics, and education – to the understanding of reading and writing and possible dialogues between them and behavior analysis. Contributions of Behavior Analysis to Reading and Writing Comprehension will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of psychology and education interested in the application of behavior analysis to teaching and learning processes. It will also be a valuable resource for professionals directly working in educational institutions, such as elementary school teachers and psycho-pedagogues. The translation of the original manuscript in Portuguese was done with the help of artificial intelligence. The present version has been revised technically and linguistically by the authors in collaboration with a professional translator.

With millions of people becoming multilingual writers in the globalized digital world, this book helps to empower writers to connect with their readers and project their identities effectively across languages, social contexts, and genres. In a series of closely-related studies that build on each other, we look comprehensively at how writers develop their ability to construct meaning for different audiences in multiple languages. This book, which draws on various approaches (including a social view of writing, multicompetence, adaptive transfer, complex systems theory, motivation, and translanguaging), contributes to on-going efforts to integrate differing approaches to multilingual writing research. This book focusses on how writer agency (control over text construction), audience awareness (ability to meet expectations of prospective readers), and writer identity (projection of image of the writer in the text) progress as multilingual writers gain more experience across languages. The within-writer, cross-sectional text analysis (Chapters 2-5) examines 185 essays written in Japanese and English by eight groups of writers from novice to advanced (N=103), supplemented by insights from these writers'reflections. We explore how they employ three kinds of text features (discourse types, metadiscourse, and self-representation), which relate to their developing agency, audience, and writer identity in their text construction, and propose a new model for writer voice construction based on those features. The four case studies (Chapters 6-9) focus on five university students and six professionals to examine closely how individual writers'agency, audience, and identity are interrelated in their text construction in two or three languages and diverse genres, including academic and creative writing. The combined studies provide new insights into multilingual writing development by revealing the close interrelationship among these three principal aspects of writing across languages. They also demonstrate the writers'multi-directional use of dynamic transfer (reuse and reshaping) for L1, L2, and L3 text construction, and the use of mixed languages L1/L2 or L1/L3 (translanguaging) for composing processes, in addition to the creative power of multilingual writers.One significant contribution of this book is to provide models of innovative ways to analyze text and new directions for writing research that go beyond complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Categories and detailed examples of text features used for writer voice construction (e.g., specific characteristics of Personal, Emergent, and Mature Voice) are helpful for writing teachers and for developing writers to improve ways of conveying their own intended writer identity to the reader. The studies break new ground by extending our analysis of L2 writing to the same writers'L1 and L3 writing and multiple genres.

This book presents research initiatives by tutors involved in a content-based instruction context as part of the University Town writing programme, National University of Singapore, which is an interdisciplinary programme designed to teach first- and second-year undergraduate students how to conduct academic research and write evidence-based research papers. It presents research the tutors conducted within the dual fields of teaching discipline-specific content and developing students'academic literacy. The book focuses mainly on pedagogy and material development in this context. It shares the tutors'scholarship of teaching and learning experiences from this programme through presenting action research from the classroom, demonstrating constructive cycles of praxis, which are then evaluated using student texts and student feedback. The book draws on academic research literature related to content-based instruction, as well as topics such asfacilitating collaborative peer reviews of assignments, and critical thinking pedagogy. It covers how multi-disciplinary or multi-lingual classrooms of this genre can motivate students to conduct and write up research and provides an overview of how both content and academic literacy is combined at a high level of engagement from an Asian context.

Das Rechtschreiben bildet einen wichtigen Lernbereich des Schreibunterrichts, denn zum erfolgreichen Schreibhandeln gehört auch die Fähigkeit, Wörter im Textproduktionsprozess orthographisch flüssig zu verschriften. Allerdings stellen aktuelle Studien zumeist nur geringe Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Rechtschreiben und dem Textschreiben fest. Warum die Korrelationen geringer ausfallen als erwartet, ist bislang noch nicht ausreichend geklärt. Um diesem Desiderat nachzugehen, wurde in der Studie der nationale und internationale Forschungsstand zum Zusammenhang von Orthographie, Schreibflüssigkeit und Textqualität herausgearbeitet und ein integratives Prozessmodell zum Zusammenspiel von Rechtschreiben und Textschreiben konzipiert. Auf empirischer Ebene wurde die Frage beantwortet, wie orthographische und textuelle Prozesse im laufenden Textproduktionsprozess interagieren. Dafür wurden Schreibprozessdaten herangezogen, die mittels des Einsatzes von digitalen Stiften bei Lernenden der 4., 6. und 9. Jahrgangsstufe erhoben wurden.

This book contributes to the innovation of writing education and research globally by providing crucial insights into how the structures and aims of literacy curricula vary internationally. It examines how nine education systems across five continents represent ‘good writing'in curricula that shape students'experiences learning to write in school.The book presents curricular analyses aimed at providing insight into how writing development can be better supported through innovative policy and research. The findings regarding international variation are presented under three broad dimensions: social and contextual factors that shape writing curricula; the discourses of writing reflected in curricula and official documents; and hallmarks of classroom practice, including the relationship with official discourse. Case study chapters present integrated inductive and deductive document analyses, findings of which are compared in a concluding, cross-case analysis chapter.Offering a detailed comparative analysis of writing research, International Perspectives on Writing Curricula and Development will be of great interest to academics, researchers and students in the fields of education, literacy and curriculum studies. It will also be relevant reading for policymakers and curriculum designers.Chapters 1, 7, 9, 10, and 11 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Publikace nás uvádí do problematiky osvojování si psaní v průběhu prvního stupně základní školy (tedy od 1. do 5. ročníku). V úvodní části se zabýváme teoretickými aspekty, které souvisejí s procesem psaní. Jde o specifi ka používaných vzorů písma a trendy ve výuce psaní (vázaný vs. nevázaný vzor písma) ve vybraných zemích. Dále je sledována didaktika psaní u obou vzorů, zásady psychologické diagnostiky psaní a neurologický pohled na proces psaní. Publikace předkládá výsledky tříleté průřezové výzkumné studie zaměřené na sledování vývoje písařských a pisatelských dovedností žáků ve dvou srovnávacích skupinách. První tvořili písaři píšící „tradičním“ vázaným písmem, druhou žáci píšící nevázaným vzorem Comenia Script. Primární cíl publikovaného výzkumu tkví v popisu písemného projevu od 1. do 5. ročníku základní školy. K tomuto účelu jsme použili hodnotící škálu Veverkové a Kucharské (2012) v úpravě Kučerové a Kubína (2014). Díky ní jsme získané písemné práce hodnotili v jasně defi novaných aspektech, které popisovaly formální (vizuální) podobu písemného projevu i kvalitu osvojení a jednotlivých pravopisných pravidel. Získaná data byla zpracována pomocí kvantitativních i kvalitativních metodologických postupů.

Ocho entrevistas a reconocidos investigadores de la escritura se agrupan en el presente libro para abonar a la reflexión sobre la importancia de este proceso en la vida universitaria. Cada texto despliega una superestructura definida a partir de dos momentos discursivos: el de la memoria y el de la reflexión. En el primero, los entrevistados evocan algunas de sus experiencias escritoras en la infancia, la adolescencia y la edad adulta. Esta parte de las entrevistas que opera como una autobiografía escritural presenta sus prácticas de escritura en diferentes etapas de escolarización (primaria, secundaria y universidad). Tras este viaje discursivo por el pasado, se presenta el segundo momento discursivo el de la reflexión, desplegado a partir de preguntas y respuestas sobre las representaciones y prácticas de escritura en la universidad. Los interrogantes permiten abordar diversos asuntos acerca del papel de la escritura en la escena universitaria: las concepciones sobre la escritura, sus funciones en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, las políticas institucionales sobre este proceso, las dificultades escriturales, el plagio, el papel de la literatura en la universidad, las estrategias y secuencias didácticas, la toma de notas, los géneros discursivos académicos y la relación entre educación básica, media y superior en torno a la escritura.

An der Schnittstelle von Sprach- und Literaturdidaktik kristallisiert sich die schreibdidaktische Relevanz eines rezeptiven Zugangs zum Erzählen heraus. Zugänge wie Sage, Gemälde und Figur eröffnen Schülerinnen und Schülern im Grundschulalter die Möglichkeit, sich einzuschreiben in Inhalte und Formen des Erzählens, die über prototypische sprachliche Mittel und Strukturen weit hinausgehen. Die Sprachformen, die die Kinder erproben, zeigen, dass ihre Sprachkompetenz nicht nur als literale, sondern auch als ästhetische, literarische Kompetenz zutage treten kann – und zwar grundsätzlich unabhängig vom Sozialindex des Einzugsgebiets und vom sprachlichen Hintergrund der Kinder. Mit einem Geleitwort von Prof. Dr. Mechthild Dehn und Prof. Dr. Petra Hüttis-Graff.

This volume brings together studies of instructional writing practices and the products of those practices from diverse Indigenous languages and cultures. By analyzing a rich diversity of contexts—Finland, Ghana, Hawaii, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, and more—through biliteracy, complexity, and genre theories, this book explores and demonstrates critical components of writing pedagogy and development. Because the volume focuses on Indigenous languages, it questions center-margin perspectives on schooling and national language ideologies, which often limit the number of Indigenous languages taught, the domains of study, and the age groups included.

Was derzeit als Klimakatastrophe diskutiert wird, scheint nicht die einzige Bedrohung, der wir gegenüberstehen. Wissenschaften berichten ergänzend über den fatalen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen und weitere Gefahren sozialer und politischer Art. Einiges spricht dafür, dass wir eine Situation erreichen, in der verständliche wissenschaftliche Expertise überlebensnotwendig wird. Zumindest theoretisch sind Demokratien als offene Gesellschaften imstande, auf diesen Rat zu reagieren. Sie müssen dazu einige Störfeuer abwehren, die auf den uninformierten Bürger setzen. Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis, präsentiert in einer einfachen Sprache, kann dabei helfen. Das essential diskutiert dazu einige populärwissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen und schaut auf den immerwährenden Kampf des Neuen in der Wissenschaft gegen eine verkarstete Gesellschaft. Mit welchen schwerwiegenden Veränderungen wir rechnen müssen, zeigen Arbeiten des Wuppertaler Instituts. Wenn wir diese Transformation der Gesellschaft nicht in Angriff nehmen, werden die Konsequenzen sehr wahrscheinlich fatal sein.

Practice makes perfect!It's no secret that improving your Spencerian penmanship requires practice. Unfortunately, Platt Rogers Spencer published less than 30 Spencerian practice sentences. That's why this helpful workbook offers over 180 pages of all-new phrases and sentences for you to refine your lettering.Across the top of each page is carefully composed Spencerian lettering by penman Schin Loong. Below the sample sentence is line after line of practice space where you can master your letter height, width, spacing, stroke weight and more. The pages are even perforated so it is easy for you to tear them out and practice on a perfectly at surface. But this book contains no ordinary words—they are the immortal phrases from the Declaration of Independence that define freedom and liberty, such as “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal.”

Die Wahl der „richtigen“ Ausgangsschriften zum Schreibenlernen wird nicht nur in der Grundschulpädagogik, sondern auch öffentlich viel diskutiert. Eva Odersky untersucht, wie sich diese Schriften während der Grundschulzeit weiterentwickeln. Im Rahmen einer empirischen Studie, in der die Schriften von über 300 Kindern digital aufgezeichnet und daraufhin analysiert wurden, zeigt die Autorin, welche Schriften Kinder am Ende des 4. Schuljahrs nutzen und ob sie flüssig und automatisiert schreiben. Außerdem wird untersucht, ob verbundene, teilverbundene oder unverbundene Schriften flüssiger geschrieben werden und ob die Schrift vielleicht sogar Auswirkungen auf die Schulleistung hat.

Die Annahme, dass Schreiben eine Form des Lernens ist, gilt in der aktuellen Schreibforschung als unbestritten und führte zu umfangreichen Forschungsansätzen und methodischen Konzepten. Es ist jedoch ein Ungleichgewicht festzustellen zwischen den ausdifferenzierten Methodenrepertoires, mit denen schreibendes Lernen initiiert werden soll, und den vorhandenen Ansätzen, mit denen im Unterricht produzierte Texte als Indikatoren für Lern- und Verstehensprozesse bewertet und prozessorientiert genutzt werden können. THEORETISCHE ANSÄTZE EPISTEMISCHEN SCHREIBENS Der vorliegende Band präsentiert einen Überblick über theoretische Ansätze, die sich mit Schreiben unter epistemischen Gesichtspunkten auseinandersetzen. Als Leitkonzept für die Untersuchung dient dabei die Theorie mentaler Modelle. Auf der Grundlage einer empirischen Untersuchung von SchülerInnen-Texten der Sekundarstufe II wird ein Rahmenkonzept einer epistemisch orientierten Schreibdidaktik vorgestellt. Ziel eines solchen Konzepts ist der Transfer von sprachtheoretischen Grundlagen des Schreibens in eine epistemisch orientierte Schreibdidaktik.
