Course Content (Syllabus)
The processes by which identities are shaped and reshaped through peoples use of language is an issue of central concern in current discursively oriented research. Building upon this literature developed in diverse lines of discursively-based research, this course analyzes the way by which literate and social identities are shaped and reshaped through the practices created in classroom communities. The course presents in detail the various proposals developed with regard to the teaching of oral discourse, classroom interaction from sociocognitive perspectives and Conversation Analytic ones to others, more critically oriented, focusing on the way by which utterances and turn taking patterns as well as other forms (such as contextualization cues, etc.) are used in the negotiation of certain identities. Rather than these taken as static, attention is directed to how these are negotiated through the use of oral language and through the practices that are discursively constructed in local communities. The aim of the course is to illuminate the ways by which through oral discourse people bring in wider Discourses, develop their stances, and/or negotiate various alignments and disalignments towards them.
