This book is a user-friendly resource designed to help teachers meet the needs of linguistically, culturally, geographically, and educationally diverse students in the contemporary college composition classroom. Pelaez-Morales and McIntosh acknowledge that writing must be understood in context and address practical ways to support all writers of English, regardless of background. Chapters cover rhetorical strategies, genre analysis, feedback, and assessment. Drawing from a number of theoretical frameworks including intercultural rhetoric, L2 writing, translingualism, and World Englishes, the book’s practical, classroom-based suggestions will prepare pre- and in-service teachers to work in internationalized higher education contexts and to accommodate a range of knowledge and skill levels.

This book explores how resurgent nationalism across the globe demands re-examination of many of the theories and practices in applied linguistics and language teaching as political forces seek to limit the movement of people, goods, and services across national borders and, in some cases, enact violence upon those with linguistic and/or ethnic backgrounds that differ from that of the dominant culture. The authors who have contributed to this volume provide careful analysis of nationalist discourses and actions in Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, China, Colombia, Germany, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Vietnam. They offer their unique historical and cultural perspectives on the complex relationship between language, identity, and nationhood in each of these countries, as well as practical responses to the fraught political situations that many language educators and policy makers now face.This book will appeal to researchers in applied linguistics and languageteaching, as well as second and foreign language teaching professionals working and living in countries where nationalist sentiments are on the rise.
