Beyond Communities of Practice - Language Power and Social Context (Hardcover): David Barton, Karin Tusting Beyond Communities of Practice - Language Power and Social Context (Hardcover)
David Barton, Karin Tusting
R2,171 R2,028 Discovery Miles 20 280 Save R143 (7%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The concept of 'communities of practice' (Lave and Wenger 1991, Wenger 1998) has become an influential one in education, management, and social sciences in recent years. This book consists of a series of studies by linguists and educational researchers, examining and developing aspects of the concept which have remained relatively unexplored. Framings provided by theories of language-in-use, literacy practices, and discourse extend the concept, bringing to light issues around conflict, power, and the significance of the broader social context which have been overlooked. Chapters assess the relationship between communities of practice and other theories including literacy studies, critical language studies, the ethnography of communication, socio-cultural activity theory, and sociological theories of risk. Domains of empirical research reported include schools, police stations, adult basic education, higher education, and multilingual settings. The book highlights the need to incorporate thinking around language-in-use, power and conflict, and social context into communities of practice.

Academics Writing - The Dynamics of Knowledge Creation (Paperback): Karin Tusting, Sharon McCulloch, Ibrar Bhatt, Mary... Academics Writing - The Dynamics of Knowledge Creation (Paperback)
Karin Tusting, Sharon McCulloch, Ibrar Bhatt, Mary Hamilton, David Barton
R1,175 Discovery Miles 11 750 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Academics Writing recounts how academic writing is changing in the contemporary university, transforming what it means to be an academic and how, as a society, we produce academic knowledge. Writing practices are changing as the academic profession itself is reconfigured through new forms of governance and accountability, increasing use of digital resources, and the internationalisation of higher education. Through detailed studies of writing in the daily life of academics in different disciplines and in different institutions, this book explores: the space and time of academic writing; tensions between disciplines and institutions around genres of writing; the diversity of stances adopted towards the tools and technologies of writing, and towards engagement with social media; and the importance of relationships and collaboration with others, in writing and in ongoing learning in a context of constant change. Drawing out implications of the work for academics, university management, professional training, and policy, Academics Writing: The Dynamics of Knowledge Creation is key reading for anyone studying or researching writing, academic support, and development within education and applied linguistics.
