We’re delighted to be presenting at SSLW 2024!

Dr. Hadi Banat from UMass Boston, Dr. Phuong Tran from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and Dr. Bradley Dilger from Purdue University are presenting the first extension of the Transculturation project at SSLW 2024, taking place at the University of Arizona, on Thursday November 14 from 3:45 – 4:15 pm (Santa Rita Room). 

Our presentation explores how diverse domestic and multilingual students engage funds of knowledge when navigating new academic, social, and cultural experiences. It examines how funds of knowledge are activated through autoethnographic and reflective writing in introductory composition classes at UMass Boston and reports findings about domestic monolingual, domestic multilingual, and international multilingual student profiles.

This post will be updated.

We’ve recently updated a complete set of the Transculturation curriculum materials on CILMAR’s HubICL:

Transculturation in Introductory Composition

1. Instructor manual: Describes the structure of the linked courses, the learning outcomes, and the four key curricular interventions of our model. 24pp. 
2. Implementation guide: Designed to help writing program administrators adapt our model to a variety of curricular structures and contexts. 13pp. 
3. Online course delivery plan: Guidance for adapting the curriculum to the modular approach typical for online and hybrid instruction. 19pp. 
4. Sample materials: Collated sample syllabi and assignments using the Transculturation model, presented as a single document. Individual files are also available. 24pp.

We remain grateful for CILMAR’s generous support of our project.

We’re delighted to share that we’ve won a third CILMAR mini-grant.. The funds will support our travel to share our work at conferences, allow us to pay our undergraduate researchers…
