Informed by rhetorical genre theory, activity theory, and the notion of Communities of Practice, this study explores a pedagogical genre at play in university mathematics lecture classrooms. The genre is mediational in that it is a tool employed in the activity of teaching. The data consist of audio/video-recorded lectures, observational notes, semistructured interviews, and written artifacts collected from 50 participants who differed in linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds; teaching experience; and languages of instruction. The study suggests that chalk talk, namely, writing out a mathematical narrative on the board while talking aloud, is the central pedagogical genre of the undergraduate mathematics lecture classroom. Pervasive pedagogical genres, like chalk talk, which develop within global disciplinary communities of practice, appear to override local differences across contexts of instruction. Better understanding these genres may lead to new insights regarding academic literacies and teaching. }, keywords = {activity system, community of practice, genre, globalization, mathematics, pedagogy, rhetorical genre studies}, author = {Artemeva, Natalia and Fox, Janna} } @article {599, title = {{\textquoteright}Just the Boys Playing on Computers{\textquoteright}: An Activity Theory Analysis of Differences in the Cultures of Two Engineering Firms}, journal = {Journal of Business and Technical Communication}, volume = {15}, year = {2001}, month = {2001}, pages = {164{\textendash}194}, keywords = {activity theory, engineering, genre}, author = {Artemeva, Natalia and Freedman, Aviva} } @inbook {RN245, title = {Approaches To Learning Genres: A Bibliographical Essay}, booktitle = {Rhetorical Genre Studies and Beyond}, year = {2008}, pages = {9{\textendash}99}, publisher = {Inkshed}, organization = {Inkshed}, address = {Winnipeg, Manitoba}, url = {http://http-server.carleton.ca/~nartemev/Artemeva\%20\&\%20Freedman\%20Rhetorical\%20Genre\%20Studies\%20and\%20beyond.pdf}, author = {Artemeva, Natalia}, editor = {Artemeva, Natasha and Freedman, Aviva} } @inbook {RN259, title = {Stories of Becoming: A Study of Novice Engineers Learning Genres of Their Profession}, booktitle = {Genre in a Changing World}, year = {2009}, pages = {158{\textendash}178}, publisher = {WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press}, organization = {WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press}, chapter = {8}, address = {Fort Collins, CO}, url = {http://wac.colostate.edu/books/genre/}, author = {Artemeva, Natalia}, editor = {Bazerman, Charles and Bonini, Adair and Figueiredo, D{\'e}bora} }
