{"product_id":"9780809335244","title":"Cosmopolitan English and Transliteracy","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite the vast number of multilingual speakers in the United States and the pervasive influence of globalization, writing studies in this country is still inextricably linked to a nationalistic, monolingual English ideology. In \u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan English and Transliteracy\u003c\/i\u003e, Xiaoye You addresses this issue by proposing that writing studies programs adopt a cosmopolitan perspective. Emphasizing local and global forms of citizenship and identification, You merges a humanistic vision with the rigor of social science, arguing that linguistic and cultural differences can be explored to recover human connections normally severed by geographical and semiotic borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou examines several areas of writing affected by globalization. He then turns to the composition classroom, highlighting the challenges and possibilities of crossing cultural boundaries in academic discourse before introducing a pedagogy aimed at fostering American students’ translingual and transcultural sensibilities. Included is a model for training writing teachers in the context of globalization, which aims to help instructors gain practical knowledge about the needs and resources of multilingual writers through communication technologies and cross-cultural partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy introducing cosmopolitan perspectives into the composition classroom, You challenges traditional assumptions about language, identity, and literacy as they relate to writing studies. Innovative and provocative, \u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan English and Transliteracy \u003c\/i\u003echarts a new way forward for writing programs, with a call to focus on global rather than national identity.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47301185372400,"sku":"9780809335244","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809335244_p0.jpg?v=1763742101","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809335244","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
