Research seminar organised by the MOSAIC Centre for Research on Multilingualism

School of Education (Room G39), University of Birmingham, 11:00 – 13:00, June 12, 2012

The hallmark of educational linguistics is its problem-centered approach to issues in language (in) education.  These practical problems or issues are often complex in nature, mediated by a confluence of factors from individual to sociopolitical scales and everything in between—all interconnected

This workshop presents nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004) as a meta-methodology for addressing these kinds of issues in educational linguistic research.
