Book Description
Despite the increasingly global implications of conversations about writing and learning, U.S. composition studies has devoted little attention to cross-national perspectives on student writing and its roles in wider cultural contexts. Caught up in our own concerns about how U.S. students make the transition as writers from secondary school to postsecondary education, we often overlook the fact that students around the world are undergoing the same evolution. How do the students in China, England, France, Germany, Kenya, or South Africa--the educational systems represented in this collection--write their way into the communities of their chosen disciplines? How, for instance, do students whose mother tongue is not the language of instruction cope with the demands of academic and discipline-specific writing? And in what ways is U.S. students' development as academic writers similar to or different from that of students in other countries? With this collection, editors David Foster and David R. Russell broaden the discussion about the role of writing in various educational systems and cultures. Students' development as academic writers raises issues of student authorship and agency, as well as larger issues of educational access, institutional power relations, system goals, and students' roles in society. The contributors to this collection discuss selected writing purposes and forms characteristic of a specific national education system, describe students' agency as writers, and identify contextual factors--social, economic, linguistic, cultural--that shape institutional responses to writing development. In discussions that bookend these studies of different educational structures, the editors compare U.S. postsecondary writing practices and pedagogies with those in other national systems, and suggest new perspectives for cross-national study of learning/writing issues important to all educational systems. Given the worldwide increase in students entering higher education and the endless need for effective writing across disciplines and nations, the insights offered here and the call for further studies are especially welcome and timely.

Book Description
In this book, a number of experts from various disciplines take a look at three different strands in learning to model. They examine the activity of modeling from disparate theoretical standpoints, taking into account the individual situation of the individuals involved. The chapters seek to bridge the modeling of communication and the modeling of particular scientific domains. In so doing, they seek to throw light on the educational communication that goes on in conceptual learning. Taken together, the chapters brought together in this volume illustrate the diversity and vivacity of research on a relatively neglected, yet crucially important aspect of education across disciplines: learning to model. A common thread across the research presented is the view that communication and interaction, as fundamental to most educational practices and as a repository of conceptual understanding and a learning mechanism in itself, is intimately linked to elaborating meaningful, coherent, and valid representations of the world. The editors hope this volume will contribute to both the fundamental research in its field and ultimately provide results that can be of practical value in designing new situations for teaching and learning modeling, particularly those involving computers.
Book Description
Longtemps négligée, la production écrite est aujourd'hui au centre des préoccupations des enseignants, à l'école comme au collège. Pourtant, de toutes les pratiques langagières, c'est celle qui se révèle la plus complexe et qui nécessite le plus long temps d'apprentissage. Dès lors, cet ouvrage collectif se propose de répondre à la fois à une nécessité, et à une demande. Une nécessité, car il s'agit d'engager une réflexion sur les pratiques d'écriture des élèves, de décrire les conditions et les difficultés rencontrées dans l'acquisition, d'ouvrir sur des démarches d'apprentissage construites et assurées. Une demande, car il convient désormais de présenter, de façon claire et argumentée, les apports des recherches menées dans le domaine : en psychologie, en linguistique, comme en didactique. Il reste que, dans la somme des recherches aujourd'hui accessibles, les auteurs de l'ouvrage ont été amenés à opérer des choix. Ils ont ainsi centré leurs études sur la dimension — ou la phase — qui leur est apparue la plus déterminante dans la production écrite, à savoir la réécriture. Chacun des chapitres expose ainsi, de façon originale, les différentes approches de cette activité, de la simple intention de révision, à la reformulation la plus aboutie. Dans cette perspective également, les auteurs, appartenant à des champs disciplinaires complémentaires, examinent les différentes composantes de la réécriture, et proposent des pistes de travail susceptibles d'aider les élèves, comme les enseignants, dans leurs tâtonnements respectifs.

Book Description
This book provides a thorough and detailed analysis of how the figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ shapes educational practices. It unpacks the impact of current educational reform discourse that focuses on the individual pupil as a learner, while neglecting the social dimensions of classroom practices. In view of the yet unknown requirements of the knowledge economy, students are demanded to take more responsibility for their learning and to become self-reliant, independent, lifelong learners. In turn, teachers are asked to tailor education to the individual needs of their students and to foster their individual learning trajectories. Based on in-depth fieldwork and long-term observation of interactions in classrooms and other scholastic settings, scholars from three European countries – France, Germany and Switzerland – show how the translation of the figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ into classrooms is shaped by distinct cultural traditions. Chapters analyse teaching routines and conceptions of self-reliance involved in autonomy-oriented settings and discuss how these change the sociality of the classroom. They scrutinize how autonomy is used to differentiate between students and how it contributes to the reproduction of social inequality. The book brings into dialogue two neighbouring research traditions that research autonomous learning from a sociological perspective and which have largely ignored each other until now. In so doing, the contributions engage a critical perspective for a careful empirical analysis in order to better understand what is being done in the name of autonomy. Providing insight into the many facets of developing and nurturing self-standing pupils across various educational contexts, this is ideal reading for scholars in the field of education, as well as teachers and decision-makers across the educational sector.

Book Description
Les articles publiés dans le présent volume regroupent les communications du colloque de l'AFLS qui a eu lieu du 3 au 5 septembre 2008 à l'Université d'Oxford. Ce livre traite de l'aspect phonologique d'une variété de français, de sa grammaire, de son vocabulaire tout comme des aspects dialogiques et polyphoniques du langage, en adoptant une perspective synchronique ou diachronique. Les auteurs se focalisent ainsi sur l'histoire du français parlé, de la langue française en contact, ou encore de la problématique de la variation ou du fait générique en FLE et FLS ; pour divers domaines linguistiques ou par l'analyse de discours appliquée à la presse (discours entrecroisés, discours politique). Cette publication présente comme trame la voix véhiculée par l'histoire, celle qui s'exprime dans la salle de classe ou encore qui résonne dans la presse. Réunissant les contributions d'éminents conférenciers pléniers : Alain Rey (Le Petit Robert), Anthony Lodge (University of St Andrews), Sophie Moirand (Université de Paris 3), ainsi que de chercheurs de renom international, d'enseignants et d'étudiants, l'ensemble de ces contributions réuni dans cet ouvrage apporte une représentation fort complète de l'évolution du français et de son statut au début du 21ièmesiècle.
