The book is a practical, useful way of seriously engaging with alternative ways of thinking, doing, and learning academic English literacies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Translingualism work has concentrated on critiquing monolingual and multilingual notions of language, but it is only beginning to examine translingual enactments in writing programs and classrooms. Focusing on language representations and practices at both the macro and micro levels, author Nancy Bou Ayash places the study and teaching of university-level writing in the context of the globalization and pluralization of English(es) and other languages. Individual chapters feature various studies that Bou Ayash brings together to address how students act as agents in marshaling their language practices and resources and shows a deliberate translingual intervention that complicates and enriches students' assumptions about language and writing. Her findings about writing programs, instructors, and students are detailed, multidimensional, and complex. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A substantial contribution to growing translingual scholarship in the field of composition studies, \u003ci\u003eToward Translingual Realities in Composition\u003c\/i\u003e offers insights into how writing teacher-scholars and writing program administrators can more productively intervene in local postmonolingual tensions and contradictions at the level of language representations and practices through actively and persistently reworking the design and enactment of their curricula, pedagogies, assessments, teacher training programs, and campus-wide partnerships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Bou Ayash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607329034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607329039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Nancy Bou Ayash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445420568831,"sku":"9781607329039","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60a92ebb-8284-4f3d-bd9e-0609e5a1cff0.jpg?v=1777218477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/toward-translingual-realities-in-composition-nancy-bou-ayash-9781607329039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
