2022 (English)In: Literacies in the age of mobility: literacy practices of adult and adolescent migrants / [ed] Annika Norlund Shaswar; Jenny Rosén, Palgrave Macmillan , 2022, p. 103-129Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This chapter explores the literacy practices which two adult L2 learners of Swedish, Muhammad and Noor, participated in when they struggled for Muhammad to pass the theory part of the driving test. The aim of the chapter is to investigate the mobility of these literacy practices insofar as it is possible to mobilise them to enhance Swedish for immigrants' (SFI) students' basic literacy and L2 development. Connections between mobility, literacy and inequality are here seen as key to analysing literacy practices. Classroom observations and qualitative, semi-structural interviews were conducted. The participants' descriptions of their literacy practices show that identity construction and collaboration are key characteristics to the researched literacy practices. The idea of transferring literacy practices between an everyday context and the SFI context is discussed in relation to the findings.
