Explore Students' Voice and Metalanguage in Danish Language Arts Writing

In the Writing Education project (2022-25) we explore students’ ways of forming voices linguistically in different Danish language arts writing situations in Year 5 (age 11) and 8 (age 14), and their repertoire for talking about own writerly choices when interviewed about their school writing. In our talk, we will present results from our analysis of interview data, with a focus on which writerly choices the students highlight, with what metalanguage, and how they argue for their writerly choices.
