Beyond Sectarianism
Sectarianism remains a popular framework through which the Syrian civil war is interpreted. Within it, ethno-religious minorities are viewed as unitary actors whose political conduct follows from sectarian belonging. This article tests that assumption against the Druze community, reexamining their political behaviour between 2011 and 2024 across four Syrian regions. Drawing on interviews and media analysis, it shows that Druze responses to the co…
International Chinese students’ language choice as a display of assessment anxiety in a higher education context in the Anglosphere
While studies of the language practices of bi/multilingual students in university English Medium Instruction in non-Anglospheric countries are well established, less attention has been paid to these practices in non-language learning university courses in the Anglosphere where the language of instruction is English. This study reports the language practices of three international Chinese students at an Australian university. The data is derived f…
Children’s agency as a relational concept in bilingual family language practices
This paper reports the study of the agency of children aged 10–14 in their language practices as they interacted with their family members. The study was located in a Vietnamese migrant community in Victoria, Australia. In using a thematic, interactional analysis combined with a relational approach to agency, it was found that children's agency emerged on a continuum which ranged from a more negative end of the continuum – manifested through the …
International doctoral students’ identity formulations through their orientations to their children’s languages as both stressors and assets
This study contributes to research on the doctoral experience of international students who are parents, and for whom the temporary experience of living elsewhere is both a challenge and a resource for all members of the family. The study investigated how a group of these students positioned themselves to their children’s English and home language during their study abroad. A group of 12 international doctoral students from one Australian univers…
I need to learn Vietnamese to speak to my grandma’
This study focuses on family relationships and their potential to successfully impact family language policy. The interview data with two bilingual Vietnamese immigrant families in Australia were analysed to show examples of successful versus unsuccessful family language policy practices. Using Bourdieu's (Citation1986) notion of capital, the study explored the reciprocal relationships between family relationships (family social capital) and the …
Including children's voice in family language policy
This article discusses family language policy and the tensions between mothers’ and children's language beliefs in two Vietnamese immigrant families in Melbourne. These tensions have frequently been discussed from the parental perspective, but it is less common to include the children's voice. We draw on a larger in-depth qualitative study of family language policy in Vietnamese families living in Australia to explore the language beliefs of both…
Science and EAL teachers’ perspectives and practices in building word knowledge in implementing the new Victorian EAL curriculum
The recent implementation of The Victorian Curriculum F-10: EAL requires content teachers who teach EAL students to be familiar with the revised EAL curriculum for the purposes of planning and developing approaches to assist learners’ development in English. In the literature and in curriculum frameworks, word knowledge is considered an important aspect of EAL students’ learning. However, little is known about what pedagogical practices teachers …

Conversation Analysis and Child Language Acquisition
Child‐focused research in conversation analysis (child‐CA) has been steadily coming into its own as it continues to amass a considerable body of work on the ways that children learn to talk as they become competent members of a culture. While there is an increasingly diverse set of contexts, themes, and disciplines that are drawn on in this work, it is nonetheless commonly driven by a microanalytic, naturally occurring, and in situ concern with s…
Storytelling as a resource for pursuing understanding and agreement in doctoral research supervision meetings
Snapshots of tellings in interactions between adults and children aged two, three and three and a half in an Australian context
This paper examines how and by whom tellings with two young children are triggered at ages 23, 36 and 42 months. The data for the investigation is derived from a larger Australian English corpus of over 50 hours of interactions in the home, although one of the children is a bilingual Italian/ English-speaking child. The data is derived from two parent/child dyads, and in the case of the child aged 42 months, a triadic interaction between a mother…
Making Knowing Visible
This study is a longitudinal investigation of the development of the token yes in second turn position in Summons/Response and in yes/no Question/Answer adjacency pairs. The study draws on data from the interactions between two children aged 10 months to 24 months with their parents. Noting the strong association of yes with the actions of affirming, agreeing and acknowledging, analysis follows its trajectory from its initial non-verbal design at…
Exploring the recognisability of early story-telling through an interactional lens
This study analyses two interactions between a parent and her child aged 23 months. The interactions provide examples of stories that begin to emerge when the child moves from talk that is highly dependent on the objects or activities in the physical space to talk about events that have occurred in a recent past and are not part of the immediate context. In the child language literature these interactions are referred as narratives. They are repo…
How children aged seven to twelve organize the opening sequence in a map task
Using the methods of conversation analysis, the opening sequences of a map task in the interactions of sixteen children aged seven to twelve were analyzed. The analytical concerns driving the study were who started, how they started, and how children dealt with differential access to information and the identification of phases within the opening. It was found that all participants oriented to the instruction-giver as the one to start, even when …
The Development of Recipient Design in Bilingual Child-Parent Interaction
This article explores the development of the language alternation practices of a bilingual child who is growing up with two languages: English, which she speaks with her father and older brother, and Italian, which she speaks with her mother. It reports on a microanalysis of the dyadic interactions between parent and child when the child was aged 18–24 months. The analyses focus on how and when parent and child attend to language alternation as t…
Speakers’ orientations to directional terms in a map task
Drawing on a corpus of eight task-based interactions involving a map task (Australian National Database of Spoken Language (ANDOSL)), this article seeks to focus on how speakers orient to directional terms in an interactional context, and in so doing, to add to features that can be deemed to characterize this speech exchange system. Problems with the directional terms in this corpus confirm prior research that the confusion between east and west,…
Do questions written in the target language make foreign language listening comprehension tests more difficult
The Assessment of Language Competence (ALC) certificates is an annual, international testing program developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research to test the listening and reading comprehension skills of lower to middle year levels of secondary school. The tests are developed for three levels in French, German, Italian and Japanese, and at two levels in Chinese and Indonesian. There is a mixture of target language and English ques…
