Abstract

Scholarly conversations in writing pedagogy increasingly centre our roles in reproducing epistemic and structural biases, and consequently the need to decolonize our curriculum. These conversations can be especially informative for L2 writing instruction, given its focus on the academic socialization of ESL for non-Western students. This article argues for translingual and transmodal resources as a way towards decolonizing L2 writing pedagogy. Framing these approaches to writing instruction in terms of ‘border thinking’, I argue that they open the classroom space for L2 and L1 students during process-based writing instruction. They enable students to use the various semiotic and material resources to produce knowledge and learn authentically. I end by illustrating pedagogic activities I use in the classroom shaped by these paradigms in terms of their alignment with Indigenous and non-Western traditions, and how they position L2 writers in the academy as resourceful learners.
走向二语写作教学的非殖民化:跨语言和跨模态资源
写作教育学中的学术对话越来越多地将我们的角色集中在再现认识论和结构偏见上,从而需要使我们的课程非殖民化。这些对话对于二语写作教学尤其有用,因为它关注的是非西方学生的ESL的学术社会化。本文认为跨语言和跨模态资源是二语写作教学法非殖民化的一种途径。从“边界思维”的角度来界定这些写作教学方法,我 认为他们在基于过程的写作教学中为二语和一语学生打开了课堂空间。它们使学生能够利用各种符号和物质资源来产生知识并进行真实的学习。我 最后说明教学活动I 在课堂上的使用,这些范式与土著和非西方传统的一致性,以及他们如何将学院中的二语作家定位为足智多谋的学习者。
