Rhetorical complexity in case analysis writing: A corpus-informed study of the advisory move
Moving between reasoning positions: Operationalizing SFL concepts in first-year argumentative writing pedagogy
Mediating Concept Formation in Classroom Interaction: A Case Analysis of L2 Spanish Concept-Based Pragmatics Instruction
This article traces the mediated formation of L2 pragmatics concepts as it occurred in classroom interactions during a concept-based pragmatics instruction enrichment program in a first-semester university-level Spanish class. Building on previous research documenting the outcomes of such enrichment programs, we delve into the microgenesis of pragmatic concepts through careful line-by-line analysis of interactions between students and their teach…
Argument not optional: The language of alternatives and recommendations in the case analysis genre
The case analysis is a common assignment in business courses that requires students to use their disciplinary knowledge to identify a company's problems and propose logical recommendations to solve them (Gardner, 2012; Nathan, 2013). When writing the recommendations section of a case analysis, students are often required to discuss alternatives to their preferred recommendation as part of their argument for it. Despite the central importance of t…
Know your roles: Alleviating the academic-professional tension in the case analysis genre
The case analysis, a prominent genre within business administration and information systems (IS) programs, is challenging for students because of competing demands to perform both academic/learner and professional/mock-consultant roles. We examine case analysis student writing that sits in the middle of the pedagogical to professional continuum (Gardner, 2012), where the academic-professional tension is most prominent. The data come from an upper…
Degrees of Reasoning: Student Uptake of a Language‐Focused Approach to Scaffolding Patterns of Logical Reasoning in the Case Analysis Genre
This study reports on student writing outcomes from a two‐year interdisciplinary collaboration between applied linguists (the authors) and an organizational behavior (OB) professor. We used an ethnographic language‐focused approach to make explicit the linguistic features of the case analysis genre at an American university in the Middle East. We analyzed 33 student case analyses to examine how effectively students applied two heuristics from our…
Comprehension of Indirect Meaning in Spanish as a Foreign Language
This study investigated comprehension of indirect meaning among learners of L2 Spanish via an original computer‐delivered multimedia listening test. The comprehension of implied speaker intention is a type of indirect communication that involves the ability to understand implied intention by using linguistic knowledge, contextual cues, and the assumption of relevance (Taguchi, 2005, 2011). Since inferential processing involves parallel processing…
