A volume in Research in Mathematics Education Series Editor Barbara
J. Dougherty, Iowa State University Marketing description: Issues
of language in mathematics learning and teaching are important for
both practical and theoretical reasons. Addressing issues of
language is crucial for improving mathematics learning and teaching
for students who are bilingual, multilingual, or learning English.
These issues are also relevant to theory: studies that make
language visible provide a complex perspective of the role of
language in reasoning and learning mathematics. What is the
relevant knowledge base to consider when designing research studies
that address issues of language in the learning and teaching of
mathematics? What scholarly literature is relevant and can
contribute to research? In order to address issues of language in
mathematics education, researchers need to use theoretical
perspectives that integrate current views of mathematics learning
and teaching with current views on language, discourse,
bilingualism, and second language acquisition. This volume
contributes to the development of such integrated approaches to
research on language issues in mathematics education by describing
theoretical perspectives for framing the study of language issues
and methodological issues to consider when designing research
studies. The volume provides interdisciplinary reviews of the
research literature from four very different perspectives:
mathematics education (Moschkovich), Cultural-Historical-Activity
Theory (Gutierrez, Sengupta-Irving, & Dieckmann), systemic
functional linguistics (Schleppegrell), and assessment
(Solano-Flores). This volume offers graduate students and
researchers new to the study of language in mathematics education
an introduction to resources for conceptualizing, framing, and
designing research studies. For those already involved in examining
language issues, the volume provides useful and critical reviews of
the literature as well as recommendations for moving forward in
designing research. Lastly, the volume provides a basis for
dialogue across multiple research communities engaged in
collaborative work to address these pressing issues.
