Engage Me: Using New Literacies to Create Third Space Classrooms that Engage Student Writers

Abstrak / Ringkasan

Adolescents use a wide variety of literacy practices in their daily lives. Preservice teachers in this study looked for ways to motivate
their students to write by asking them about their in-school and out-of-school writing practices. This survey shows a gap between
what motivates students to write for school and why they write out of school. The results suggest that English teachers can forge a
“third space” in which out-of-school literacy practices are integrated into the curriculum. This survey provides insights for improving
writing pedagogy in regards to students’ expressed desire to communicate, express themselves, and to be involved.
