Becoming the music teacher
Teacher preparation for generalist (non-specialist) elementary teachers in Ontario typically comprises one compulsory music class. In entry surveys, many generalists describe themselves as highly apprehensive about and unconfident in their ability to teach music, confirming previous research. Using narrative inquiry, we explore the stories of both preservice and in-service generalist teachers. Data from focus groups with preservice teachers revea…
The creation of multimodal texts of adult English language learners in a Canadian university – A case study
This paper reviews the larger context of English language learning and multimodality and attempts to shed light on how multimodal texts impact adult English language learners’ social practice of second language learning and their identities. The theories of multimodality and identity texts shape this study. The data in this case study were collected through participant observation, interview, and artefact elicitation. The results show that multim…
Teaching for Creativity and Informal Learning in Liminal Spaces
This paper discusses two projects that use practice as research to explore learning that takes place in liminal spaces-within the university but not formally in the classroom, while bridging discursive fields.

Participants worked with traditional techniques of co…

We examine the ways in which "official" …
