This study contributes to the limited research on culturally responsive pedagogy in online community college settings by exploring the implementation and impact of high-context communication practices in that setting, with a focus on improving engagement and academic outcomes for diverse student populations. Drawing on frameworks of culturally responsive teaching and high-context communication, the research examines the effectiveness of “check-in assignments” as a low-stakes, personalized intervention designed to foster stronger faculty-student relationships, enhance student belonging, and bridge cultural communication gaps in online learning environments. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes quantitative data on assignment engagement and qualitative themes from student responses. Findings indicate that high-context communication practices promote deeper engagement, especially among Hispanic and non-Hispanic females, while highlighting disparities in engagement among male students. Key themes—course perceptions, personal challenges, and faculty-student relationships—underscore the role of culturally informed interventions in addressing the needs of underrepresented groups and enhancing engagement and academic success. Future research could expand on these findings by exploring longitudinal outcomes and adaptive strategies for diverse learning environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102920"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143377625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shift towards multimodality in writing research, coupled with the rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in content creation, calls for a deeper understanding of how voice is perceived by readers beyond traditional writing contexts. This mixed-method study addresses this gap by exploring voice construction in GenAI-assisted photo essays from a dialogic perspective. In this study, we invited writing teachers to rank five student-produced photo essays according to their perceived voice strengths and analyzed the rankings using Kendall's Coefficient Concordance. The statistical analysis shows a weak agreement (W = 0.27) among raters, suggesting that voice is perceived quite diversely. The follow-up interviews with six focal raters reveal that they could agree on the importance of having unique ideas and angles in writing, keeping writing coherent and focused, using appropriate quotations, and incorporating images to enhance storytelling. However, opinions diverge regarding using primary and secondary texts, adopting academic discourse features, and including AI-generated images. The study adds to scholarly conversation of voice in composition studies and suggests that divergence in perceiving voice could be leveraged to fuel the discussion about voice in writing pedagogy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102918"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143273273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reports on an effort to enhance source evaluation skill among a group of second language writers. Researchers used interviews, authentic writing tasks and screen-recording to chart the source use and evaluation practices of participants before and after their first year of university. In the interim, participants were introduced to online research skills including lateral reading, a popular source evaluation technique. We found that when asked to engage in research writing, these writers consistently turned to non-academic sources, especially online news sites and for-profit companies. They deployed seven types of source evaluation strategy and over the course of the study, as a group, traded weaker strategies for stronger ones. These findings provide a glimpse of the current online information ecosystem, as well as a framework to help teachers and researchers better understand how novice writers make choices in networked space. They suggest that the pedagogy offered was a limited success and provide guidance as to how it might be improved.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102914"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws upon Scott Graham's suggestion for a multidimensional recursive writing process, emphasizing fact-checking and revision while utilizing ChatGPT. Additionally, it incorporates Suresh Canagarajah's (2019) theorization of transnational habits of writing among most international, multilingual, and marginalized students, which, according to him, are characterized by rhetorical sensitivity, depth of awareness, and linguistic knowledge. Based on these empirical and theoretical perspectives, this article proposes pausing, pondering, posing, and prioritizing as critical praxis that can be built into metacognitive activities. To explain this praxis, it showcases two kinds of metacognitive activities for fostering transnational habits among students through fact-checking processes. Similarly, it suggests designing the revision phase of writing assignments to allow students to incorporate their English language skills into the classroom. This paper identifies engaging in critical dialogue with ChatGPT and encouraging self-reflection on fact-checking and revision as effective ways to cultivate a transnational habitus among students. It concludes that adopting a transnational post-digital critical pedagogy and critical AI literacy in the writing process benefits both national and international students by promoting diverse linguistic norms and perspectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102913"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
