Teaching culture in the Russian as a world language classroom
Teaching about the culture of the target language is an important part of world language education. This is clear in the ACTFL Standards, in which one of the ‘Five Cs’ is ‘Cultures.’ While there is no question about the importance of culture in world language education, teaching about culture can be deeply problematic. An example of how teaching about culture can be precarious in the context of the Russian as a foreign language (RFL) classroom is…
The Emergence of a Contact Language
In this article, the nature of Spanglish as a Spanish-English contact language in the United States is explored. The common phonological, lexical, and morphosyntactic characteristics of different varieties of Spanglish are presented, and the case for understanding Spanglish as a distinctive and legitimate set of language varieties in the US context is offered. Finally, the role played by raciolinguistic ideologies in the marginalization of Spangl…
Language planning and language policies for sign languages
Following the publication of William Stokoe’s Sign Language Structure in 1960, there was a proliferation of linguistic research addressing different aspects of sign languages. The emergence of this research had implications not only for linguistics as an academic discipline, but also for the deaf community itself. One area in which the study of sign languages and the growing activism of deaf communities overlapped in powerful ways was in calls fo…
Deaf Epistemology, Sign Language and the Education of d/Deaf Children
One of the traditional areas of concern in educational foundations has been philosophy of education, and within philosophy of education, a central focus has been epistemology. Defined as the branch of philosophy dealing with the study of knowledge, in the past half-century approaches to the study of epistemology have evolved in significant ways. The rise of ethnoepistemology is perhaps one of the clearest examples of such changes. After a brief o…
A twelfth official language? The constitutional future of South African Sign Language
The 2017 recommendation by the Constitutional Review Committee of the South African Parliament that South African Sign Language (SASL) be added to the Constitution as the country’s 12th official language has been forwarded to parliament for action, but, as of the writing of this article, it has yet to be approved. Should parliament accept the committee’s recommendation, there are a number of important issues that will need to be considered and re…
Teaching deaf culture in American Sign Language courses
Critical pedagogy and social justice education have gained increasing attention in recent years in many subject matters, and world language education has been no exception to this trend. There are a number of works dedicated to critical pedagogy in world language education. At the same time that such concerns have gained attention, another parallel development has been taking place: the increasing number of courses and programs in American Sign L…
Language policies, language rights, and sign languages
Among the focus of language policies addressing sign languages have been efforts to achieve official recognition for various national sign languages, coupled with the recognition of the language rights of d/Deaf people. The recognition of sign languages has most often taken place as a result of lobbying efforts by national Deaf communities, generally with the support of sympathetic hearing supporters. As a rule, efforts to grant official recognit…
The Conceptualization of Language Legitimacy
The concept ‘language legitimacy’, which entails issues of social class, ethnicity and culture as well as those of dominance and power, is a very important one with implications for both educational policy and practice. This article begins with a brief discussion of the two major ways in which the concept of ‘language legitimacy’ has been used in the scholarly literature (i.e., sociologically and linguistically), and while recognizing the validit…
Language Policy for Sign Languages
Language policy efforts related to sign languages have been concentrated on a number of concerns: efforts to achieve official recognition of sign languages, the provision of bilingual education programs for deaf students, and the teaching of sign languages to hearing individuals as foreign languages. There has been considerable controversy related to beliefs and attitudes about the nature of sign languages and as to whether they count as “real” l…
Multilingualism, citizenship, and identity
South African Sign Language and language-in-education policy in South Africa
Language planning and language policy issues and decisions are both significant and often controversial in the educational sphere. In the case of South Africa, language planning and language policy have a long and complex history in South Africa. Used in the apartheid era both to support Afrikaner nationalist objectives and as a pillar of ethnolinguistically separate education, language planning and policy have remained an important and divisive …

Textual Concept Critical Analysis
When the International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) was founded in 2002 and the journal that is now Critical Inquiry in Language Studies (CILS) was in the planning stages, we recognized a need for an interdisciplinary, or perhaps even transdisciplinary (see Kaufman, Moss, & Osborn, 2003), venue for the publication of research on language issues that came from a variety of critical and power-based perspectives. At the same time, there was a…
Developing K–16 Student Standards for Language Learning
In light of the ongoing attention to standards-based education in U.S. schools and the concern over how to effectively develop literacy skills in a first, let alone a second, language, this article reports on the drafting of the K–16 Student Standards for Learning Esperanto in the United States. Esperanto is ideally suited to aid children in the primary grades develop accurate phonemic awareness and an understanding of the parts of speech because…
The Explanatory Power of Critical Language Studies
In this article, I address the miracle of human language from a socio-cultural perspective, emphasizing the role that language, and more explicitly, the critical study of language, can and should play in developing reflective, socially and politically aware and responsible teachers, administrators, and students. The article begins by examining the nature and focus of critical language awareness as it has emerged in the recent years, with particul…

Learning theories as metaphorical discourse
Metaphors and, more broadly, metaphorical discourse, are widely recognized as not merely significant aspects of human language use, but also as both pervasive and essential elements of the communicative process as we understand it. Metaphors are important to understand for a variety of reasons, and their use and analysis has important implications for many disciplines. Nowhere, though, is this more true than in the case of semiotics. In this arti…
Objectification, Positivism and Language Studies
Linguists and language specialists, as well as the lay public, have generally viewed language from a perspective that is fundamentally positivist in orientation. We tend to assume that language as an abstract entity exists as just such a knowable entity. More problematically, we assume that particular languages also exist as knowable entities which can be described and analyzed. Such assumptions are embedded in our discourse, and in turn have imp…
Reflections on Critical Language Studies and the Genesis of a Counter Paradigm
The case of South Africa is implicative for language studies. Although there has been a growing sensitivity among some scholars and policy makers with respect to the need to address the historically disadvantaged condition of the African languages in South Africa, these developments have been over-shadowed, occurring within the context of the overwhelming dominance of English, a dominance supported by both economic factors and by tacit government…
Don’t Know Much about the French I Took’
Language study can be immensely valuable, but language educators have typically relied on arguments and defenses of second/foreign language study that confuse the benefits of language knowledge with those of language study. In this article, an effort is made to identify three kinds of alternative arguments (epistemological, socio-political, and interpersonal) that might be used for advocating second/ foreign language study as part of the general …

"Toward an "Archeology of Deafness
Michel Foucault's concept of "archeological thinking" as a means of "making it possible to think difference" is used in this article as an organizing framework for conceptualizing the conflict between the multiple, competing social and individual constructions of deaf identity. The substantial literature dealing with deaf culture in the United States is used to explore the nature and characteristics of etic and emic constructions of deafness. Amo…
The promotion of linguistic diversity in multilingual settings
The South African case raises a number of important issues of concern for those interested in language policy and language planning: issues of multilingualism, linguistic diversity, linguistic integration, linguistic equity, and language rights. South Africa is fascinating for those interested in matters of language because it is characterized by elements of both the ‘developed’ and the ‘developing’ worlds, and thus, to some extent, provides us w…

Constructivist Epistemology and Second/Foreign Language Pedagogy
Although arguably implicit in many contemporary discussions about communicative language teaching, and often embodied in actual FL teaching practice, constructivist approaches to epistemology and learning theory have only recently, and relatively rarely, been explicitly examined in terms of their implications for 12 teaching and learning. This article provides an overview of the core assumptions and concepts of constructivism, and then discusses …

Historical Perspectives
The Case for Applied Linguistics in Teacher Education
The notion that black English is a language and that black kids are actually bilingual is ludicrous and patronizing. Ebonics is ungrammatical English. What students who speak Ebonics need to learn is that they are speaking substandard English and that substandard English brands them as uneducated. (Hernandez, 1996, p. A-21) This quotation, from a recent column by Roger Hernandez about the decision of the Oakland, California, Board of Education to…
