Description: Transdisciplinary Approach to International Teaching Assistants : Perspectives from Applied Linguistics, Paperback by Looney, Stephen Daniel (EDT); Bhalla, Shereen (EDT), ISBN 178892553X, ISBN-13 9781788925532, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This volume brings together 10 essays by linguistics researchers from the US, who propose an approach to international teaching assistants that recognizes them as multilingual, skilled, migrant professionals who participate in and are constructed through participant frameworks, modalities, and activities. They note the problem in the difference between the linguistic competence of these teaching assistants and undergraduates' and parents' expectations for their speech, but seek to improve institutional support before and while they teach and work at US universities. They note the lack of cohesiveness in international teaching assistant practice, research, and policy and offer a transdisciplinary approach to conceptualizing them from micro, meso, and macro levels. They address the language and social interaction of these teaching assistants in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) lab, lectures, and office hours; social identities and the social contexts in which language is used, particularly how international teaching assistants construct their identities in relation to English, how undergraduates' attitudes can be improved, and what a World Englishes approach to assessment means for these teaching assistants; and the role of language ideologies and policies, particularly international recruitment practices at US universities and how program administrators can evaluate and explain their curriculum to stakeholders.
