讲座九简介:

This article examines environmental literacy topics in Chinese language textbooks used in elementary school education nationwide in China. Published by People’s Education Press (a state publishing house managed by the Ministry of Education), the textbooks serve as the core teaching material for literacy education of primary school children. Informed by language socialisation and literacy studies, this paper examines what texts and topics are included in textbooks that introduce child-readers to environmental literacy, how child readers are positioned as (ir)responsible environmental actors and what text-types and features are used to socialise children to become environmentally conscious individuals. To understand the ideological constructs of environmental literacy, intertextuality is employed to analyse how meaning is derived by revealing the interconnectedness of text production with the broader socio-political issues. Through content analysis, the article looks particularly at how text features such as texttypes, lexical choices, grammatical elements and generic structures are used in the textbooks to reflect environmental issues and develop children’s awareness. The ideological orientations serve as a framework for socialising children into environmentally conscious individuals. The article enhances our understanding of the role textbooks play in literacy education, as they not only provide materials for literacy learning and teaching, but also entail a socialisation process that shapes individuals’ environmental perception of the world.

 

讲座十简介:

While there has been a growing interest in China’s EMI in higher education for internationalisation (e.g., Gao & Ren, 2019; Hu, 2019; Hu & Lei, 2014; Wang & Curdt-Christiansen, 2018), the classroom as a site for explicit versus implicit language learning, and the effect of EMI on teaching and learning disciplinary literacy across different disciplines in tertiary education institutions, have been underexplored. This paper presents an ongoing study of EMI policy enactment in China’s tertiary education.

Situated within the larger higher education drive towards internationalisation, and building on the expanding body of work on EMI across the globe (e.g., Rose & McKinley 2018), the study explores how disciplinary literacy and English language are taught and learned in five Double First Class universities across the country. Using a systematic coding scheme (Curdt-Christiansen & Silver, 2013), the study examines the instructional and organisational patterns, participation structures, activity structures and language content of the EMI lessons. By observing twenty periods, two in each of ten disciplines (total observation time: 60 hours) including science and social science studies, we problematise and explicate how lecturers and students react to and interpret the EMI policy in their classroom practices. Our findings reveal that the epistemic environments as well as the pedagogical activities and the modes of classroom discourse related to these activities need to take into consideration both policy clarity, the English language proficiency level of the students, and the instructors’ English communication skills.
