ABSTRACT Meaningful participation (i.e., substantive involvement in socially vital activities) and educational dignity (i.e., the multifaceted sense of a person’s value generated via substantive intra- and inter-personal learning experiences that recognize and cultivate one’s mind, humanity, and potential) are vital and interrelated social phenomena. Conceptually, the two are salient for research related to learning and educational rights. Accordant with a cultural-historical framework, we have adopted and modified a social interactional methodological approach that allows us to set forth indicia of meaningful participation and educational dignity. To achieve these ends, we examine two information sources: 1) audio recordings of a 1962 voter registration workshop in the Southern United States; and 2) audio-video recordings of a college preparatory program for high school-age migrant students in California during the early 2000s called the Migrant Student Leadership Institute. Close examination of interactions in both spaces reveals the moment-to-moment unfolding of meaningful participation and educational dignity.

ABSTRACT The complementary theories of Vygotsky, Halliday, and Bernstein are applicable in all fields of human activity. Our interest is in the education field, specifically pedagogy for marginalized students. In analyzing classroom interactions, we draw on all three theories. From these comes an understanding of the broadest goals of education, that is culture and social inclusion, and the central role of language in participation in activity systems. In this paper, we expand on the aspects of the complementary theories drawn on for our work. Through extracts of classroom dialogue, we demonstrate how the theories support our tracking of effective pedagogy.

ABSTRACT This paper explores a potential avenue of dialogue between Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), namely genre. SFL's approach to modeling genre is briefly introduced, and key discourse analyses informing genre description are reviewed. Subsequently, the approach is illustrated with respect to analysis of a text from a tertiary law lecture, specifically a legal exemplum genre. The paper closes with commentary on some possible misunderstandings that might stand in the way of practical applications interfacing SFL and CHAT research.

ABSTRACT This paper looks at a concept central to Michael Halliday’s linguistics: realization. Ruqaiya Hasan always defined this concept in a Vygotskyan way, as semiotic mediation. In so doing, she made three important addenda to it and questioned the fit between systemic-functional concepts of language and Vygotsky’s. I will suggest that recently translated pedological texts offer a reply – a kind of pre-ply, if you will – to some of the queries she had. I will then propose a “try-brid” pedology in which Vygotsky’s neoformations are realized as Halliday’s conversational stages and development is realized as Hasan’s contextual cline of instantiation. I hope, by the conclusion, to have shown you, with two anti-smoking cartoons by Korean primary school students, how the concept of realization becomes real.

ABSTRACT This issue of MCA presents a set of articles developing a theoretical dialogue between the work of linguist Michael Halliday and psychologist Lev Vygotsky. The Introduction provides background on Halliday’s social linguistics, identifies some key themes for the dialogue with Vygotsky, and comments on the particular contributions of the included articles.
