This innovative volume is one of the first to represent the usage
of bilingual writers in both their languages, offering insight into
language corpora as extremely valuable tools in contemporary
applied linguistics research, and in turn, into how much of the
world's population operate daily. This book discusses one of the
first examples of a bilingual writer corpus, the Zayed
Arabic-English Bilingual Undergraduate Corpus (ZAEBUC), which
includes writing by hundreds of students in two languages, with
additional information about the writers and the texts. The result
is a rich resource for research in multilingual use and learning of
language. The book takes the reader through the design and use of
such a corpus and illustrates the potential of this type of corpus
with detailed studies that show how assessment, vocabulary, and
discourse work across two very different languages. This volume
will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and educators in
bilingualism, plurilingualism, language education, corpus design,
and natural language processing.
Research on academic literacy within higher education has focused
almost exclusively on the development of academic literacy in
English. This book is unique in showing how students use other
languages when they engage with written academic content - whether
in reading, discussing or writing - and how increasingly
multilingual higher education campuses open up the possibility for
students to exploit their multilingual repertoires in and around
reading/writing for academic purposes. Chapters range from cases of
informal student use of different written languages, to
pedagogical, institutional and disciplinary strategies leveraging
multilingual resources to develop biliteracy. They are ordered
according to two dominant themes. The first includes accounts of
diverse multilingual contexts where biliteracy practices emerge in
response to the demands of academic reading and writing. The second
theme focuses on more deliberate attempts to teach biliteracy or to
teach in a way that supports biliteracy. The collection will be of
interest to researchers, higher education practitioners and
students of multilingual higher education and academic literacy.
