[ATTW-L] CCCC Engaging the Global Workshop

[Fraiberg, Steven]

Engaging the Global: Constructing Commonplaces through Translingual/Transmodal Pedagogies in Writing Classrooms


In response to the 2020 CCCC call for proposals, the Transnational Writing Workshop invites writing teachers, researchers, and program administrators to construct global commonplaces through the development of translingual curriculum and practices. For the past five years the workshop has aimed at “Engaging the Global“ as a means of transforming composition studies through the cultivation of professional relationships, conversations, and partnership among teachers/scholars of writing in the US and around the world. In the sixth edition of this workshop, we continue to work towards these aims in our exploration of innovative approaches that incorporate students’ translingual (or multilingual) and transmodal (or multimodal) resources into writing classrooms, programs, and university structures.


We particularly encourage submissions that discuss the practical and actual processes of creating and enacting translingual and transmodal initiatives. The areas of focus may include, but are not limited to:


  *   Constructing translingual classroom assignments (or assignment sequences), activities, pedagogies, and curriculum that incorporate a translingual orientation
  *   Identifying the pitfalls, challenges, and obstacles that teachers and/or administrators may face in cultivating translingual a perspectives or frameworks
  *   Designing assessment practices that respond to and support translingual and transmodal performance-based programs, curricula, activities, and assignments
  *   Using transnational, translingual, and transmodal pedagogy as a framework for fostering collaborations across various boundaries and scales: students, teachers, units, departments, programs, universities, and higher education institutions in different countries


The workshop seeks to engage scholars and teachers located in a variety of educational and learning contexts in different parts of the world who may be experiencing a diverse range of local, institutional, departmental, and disciplinary expectations in relation to designing and implementing translingual pedagogical approaches. Facilitators are invited to submit proposals in which they will address the key questions and issues (listed above) in order to engage workshop participants in lively discussions centered around hands-on activities. These activities could include sharing an assignment and students' responses to it, discussing course curriculum, explaining the effects of local and global contexts on collaborative projects, and a wide range of other possibilities.


If you are interested to be a part of this workshop as a facilitator, we invite you to submit a 150-200-word proposal. Please explain how you’d like to practically engage the workshop participants based on the guidelines presented above. We encourage you to ground your discussion in specifics, such as what kind of handouts, performance-focused activities, teaching exercises and practical takeaways you will plan in order to facilitate hands-on engagement of workshop participants.

  *   Please feel free to share forward this email/message to other colleagues who may be interested. Because we are trying to increase the number of workshop facilitators from outside the US, we would appreciate your transnational sharing of this call.
