Toward language justice
This ethnographic study applies a language justice (LJ) lens to the interpreting services provided to linguistically-minoritized families in a California school district. The LJ approach emerged out of immigrant rights organizing in the U.S. Southeast, and can be defined as systematic fair treatment of people of all linguistic backgrounds. In this paper, we examine how educators and parents envisioned LJ, along with systemic dilemmas highlighted …
Raciolinguistic Ideologies and Second Language Spanish
The theoretical framework of raciolinguistics examines connections between language ideologies and racialization, but few studies have analyzed the adult learning of languages other than English. This case study is based on life history interviews with a married couple, a Black male journalist and a White female nurse, who learned Spanish as adults. Both grew up as monolingual English speakers, in multilingual US communities where Spanish was wid…
In “sociocultural in-betweenness”
In this article, we investigate second/foreign language teachers’ translingual identity development through a narrative approach to their life histories. While several studies have investigated how teachers’ intercultural experiences shape their identity formation and pedagogies, we explore not only the impact of teachers’ identity on their practice but also highlight the influences of language teaching itself on teacher identity development. In …
Translingual practice in L2 Japanese
Translingual practice is an emergent theoretical perspective which emphasizes the capacity and disposition for meaning-making across linguistic boundaries. Following on studies of globalized workplaces that have focused on lingua franca English, this article explores translingual practice as represented in interview and blog narratives recounted by multilingual, multiethnic young adults hired by Japanese schools and companies for their English pr…
“Tiffany Does Not Have a Solid Language Background, As She Speaks Only English”
Californians often take for granted a split between ethnic and linguistic identities, expecting immigrants to maintain strong ethnic identities while becoming monolingual in English. However, recent immigration has led to increasing diversity at California universities, with no majority ethnic group and many students bilingual. This study explores the language ideologies of diverse university students through an analysis of 100 essays written by …

Chilean English teacher identity and popular culture
Recent discussions on English as an International Language have highlighted the important role played by English language popular culture for the identities and bilingual development of diverse global citizens who learn and use English. However, there has been little attention to connections between popular culture and teacher identity. In this article, based on life history interviews with Chilean English teachers, I draw on a Bakhtinian theoret…

Comparing protest movements in Chile and California
This paper is based on an analysis of chat transcripts from an English-language telecollaboration project between students at universities in Chile and California. This research found that the richest intercultural interactions involved events that could not have been foreseen: the immigrant rights demonstrations in the USA and the massive student protests in Chile in May of 2006. Through a discursive analysis of the chat transcripts in which par…
The Dad in the Che Guevara T-Shirt
Building on previous critical research regarding student resistance to English Language Teaching (ELT), this paper illustrates Chilean high-school English teachers' use of narrative to make sense of ideological challenges from students. While the government of Chile is promoting English in connection with the nation's export-oriented economic policies, this promotion of English has been resisted by leftist movements unrepresented within the curre…
“My little sister had a disaster, she had a baby”
This paper discursively analyzes an extended personal narrative from a life history interview with a Mexican woman immigrant in California, in which the teller details the varying reactions of family and community members to her younger sister’s unmarried pregnancy in a Mexican village at a time of increasing emigration. In analyzing the narrator’s account of these events, the paper focuses on her orchestration of multiple discourses and social v…

‘The Thing About Work’
Through narratives taken from life history interviews with an indigenous Mexican male immigrant in California, this paper examines the connection between masculinities and the learning of dominant languages associated with access to economic opportunities. In portraying the teller's engagements with work and education in both countries, these life history narratives index the way changing social contexts have caused him to emphasise different mas…
Intergenerational Trajectories and Sociopolitical Context
In this ethnographic study, I contrast the educational experiences of two Central American immigrant women in an English as a second language (ESL) family literacy program in the San Francisco Bay area in 2002. Based on life-history interviews and classroom observations, I argue that these learners ’ second language and literacy development can only be understood within the larger sociopolitical context over time. To this end, I draw on participa…
