Opis

Accessible yet theoretically rich, this landmark text introduces key concepts and issues in critical discourse analysis and situates these within the field of educational research. Beyond providing a useful overview, it contextualizes CDA theories and methods in accounts of discourse in classroom and other settings, and identifies the ways in which these forms of language are connected to theories of learning. Detailed analytic procedures are included - to demystify the process, to allow researchers to have a conversation about issues of trustworthiness of interpretations and their value to educational contexts, and to enable replication of studies. The following are new in the second edition: new structure organized around three common traditions in CDA - Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, and Multimodal Discourse Analysis; 'Taking Action' feature in each chapter that highlights the ways in which CDA can be put to work in K-12 educational settings; chapters on teaching or learning the approach in each section; touchstone chapter by a recognized expert in the approach/theory plus an interview with the expert in each section; stronger international focus, both theories and methods; appendix with examples of syllabi, websites, and online resources; and, companion website - video interviews with leading scholars, power point presentations, data samples (audio-files), examples of data displays.
