Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-75"> Education researchers from around the globe have turned to critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a way to describe, interpret, and explain important educational problems. CDA is an interdisciplinary set of theoretical and analytic tools applied to the study of the relationships between texts (spoken, written, multimodal, and digital), discourse practices (communicative events), and social practices (society&hyphen;wide processes) (Blommaert and Bulcaen,  <a href="https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-0-387-30424-3_61#CR9_61"> 2000 </a> ; Collins,  <a href="https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-0-387-30424-3_61#CR16_61"> 2004 </a> ; Fairclough,  <a href="https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-0-387-30424-3_61#CR28_61"> 1993 </a> ; Luke,  <a href="https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-0-387-30424-3_61#CR57_61"> 1995 </a> /1996).

CDA focuses on how language as a cultural tool mediates relationships of power and privilege in social interactions,... </div>
