What Does Research Say About African American and Latino Boys and Reading? A Critical Overview of Sociocultural Perspectives, Journal of Language and Literacy Education, 2012. Sociocultural perspectives on literacy include various theories focused on the myriad ways in which people use literacy in context, which include a strong emphasis on power relations.
Yet, these theories also have important differences, and many in the field of literacy do not clearly differentiate among them. I provide a critical overview of influential sociocultural perspectives on literacy, focusing on three major perspectives: (1) literacy as social practice, (2) multiliteracies, and (3) critical literacy. In an effort to support researchers in framing their scholarly work and to support practitioners and other consumers of research make sense of research, I discuss the ways in which each theory would answer the question, "What is literacy?

Moeller, Assistant Professor, College of Education, Leadership and Educational Studies, Appalachian State University Kim E. Becnel, Assistant Professor, College of Education, Leadership and Educational Studies, Appalachian State University. Equity Drives Essential Schools’ Push for Adolescent Literacy. Much of the “quiet crisis” in adolescent literacy has to do with empowering students to use language critically– seeing it not as a barrier but an entry into a world they can question and shape.
As jason sat Through his seventh-grade classes in those days–the room crowded to bursting with New York City students like himself–he learned to tune out the labored, halting drone of “group reading” exercises. Paragraph by paragraph, a text would make the rounds of the room, and Jason knew that once his turn had passed the piece would not hit him again. Creating an Identity-Safe Classroom. Though teachers across the nation share the goals of successfully educating all students, disproportionate numbers of low-income students and students of color are pushed out and fail to graduate.
So what prevents us from meeting each student's educational needs? We propose that one barrier is educators who often don't recognize the link between students' social and cognitive development, and that without addressing each student's needs for belonging and value, we cannot successfully teach them. Our thinking is based on the assumption that teachers want the best for students and seek to be fair. Often they try to be colorblind, inadvertently creating an unsafe environment. When teachers don't pay attention to who each student is by failing to address his or her particular experiences and background, they unintentionally convey that what students know and can do, and how they feel, doesn't matter.
5 Top TED Talks on Inclusion & Diversity. Why Talk About Whiteness? ED526585 - A Case Study of Korean American Adolescents' Identity Construction through Literacy Practices on the Internet, ProQuest LLC, 2009. The purpose of this study was to provide a clearer understanding of current Korean American adolescents under the recognition that their stories are barely told in educational research.
Based on the literature that has described identity as a core concept in understanding adolescence and literacy practice as a dominant tool for identity construction, this study focused on Korean American adolescents' identity construction through their self-directed Internet literacy practices. Four Korean American adolescents living in a mid-size city in the Southwest participated in this study for several months. Data sources included face-to-face interviews, literacy practice logs, participants' literacy products on the Internet, online chat logs, and emails. Price Dennis JoLLE2017. Creating Spaces for Black Adolescent Girls to “Write It Out!” - Muhammad - 2012 - Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy.
Identity and literacy development are two critical processes shaping the life trajectories of adolescents.
Identity development in particular can present unique issues for Black adolescent girls, who are positioned in ways to negotiate their identity(ies) when presented with hegemonic language and representations of what is beauty and what is “Black.” Writing becomes a key literacy practice for Black adolescent girls to make meaning of their identity(ies). Although there are a growing number of studies on literacy and identity development of Black adolescent girls, few studies address writing. A single case study is conducted with a Black adolescent girl who struggles with selfhood to explore how she makes meaning of her identity through writing.
Religious Literacies as Social Practice: A Latter-day Saint Perspective. Although we are learning more about how young people make sense of religious truths,[1] there is a conspicuous dearth of research examining the meaning-making practices of Latter-day Saint youth.
As a result, it is unclear, for example, how Latter-day Saint youth read scripture. What’s working for them? Religiously engaged adolescents demonstrate habits that help them get better grades, Stanford scholar finds. Adolescents who practice religion on a regular basis do better in school than those who are religiously disengaged, according to new research from Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE).
The findings indicate that religious communities socialize adolescents to cultivate two habits highly valued in public schools: conscientiousness and cooperation. Religious engagement may influence grades more than researchers realize. “The United States is a highly religious country, and religion is a powerful social force,” said the study’s author, Ilana Horwitz, a doctoral candidate at the GSE. “If we, as education scholars, are trying to understand adolescents in America, we should pay attention to this very important part of their life.” Taken on Faith: Religion and Identity in Writing Classes - Williams - 2005 - Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy.
Dialect, power and politics: standard English and adolescent identities - Brady - 2015 - Literacy. This paper examines the official requirement for the promotion of standard English using Bourdieu's concepts of the production and reproduction of legitimate language.
It explores the political drive behind the demand for this standard dialect in England and, through a survey on the views of fifty‐two 14 and 15 year olds, analyses the impact that this is having on adolescent identities in an inner‐city London school. The students perceive non‐standard English as a vehicle through which they can express their ‘true’ selves and construct a collective teenage identity. - The Best for Our Children: Critical ...

With no federal standards for the topic in place, teachers are left to their own devices for creating or finding social justice lesson plans. Our country’s history is rich with resistance, organizing, and civil rights campaigning—but for many teachers, these movements seem new. If you want to guide your students through conversations about inclusion, diversity, and equity, it’s important to both teach the history and build upon the work of the countless people who contributed to social justice movements throughout the years. From habeus corpus for Native Americans, to women’s suffrage, to civil rights, none of these freedoms were granted without collective organizing.
Unfortunately, many of these stories are invisible. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Literacy Coaching With Teachers of Adolescent English Learners: Agency, Sustainability, and Transformation for Equity - Reichenberg - 2020 - Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. This reflective framework, used by a literacy coach with teachers of English learners, led to student‐empowering changes. Adolescent English learners’ (ELs’) school experiences include unique challenges. While tasked with learning English more quickly than younger ELs (Maxwell‐Jolly, Gándara, & Méndez Benavídez, 2007), movement among teachers and disciplines means varied instructional experiences (National Council of Teachers of English, 2008).
Meanwhile, many ELs require instruction in foundational literacy skills, often the responsibility of English as a New Language (ENL) teachers (Maxwell‐Jolly et al., 2007). New learning standards, such as the Common Core State Standards in the United States, and growing international interdependence have heightened attention on the need for teachers of ELs to engage students in analytical reading, writing, and discussion (Kibler, Walqui, & Bunch, 2015).
