“…Apparently, Lan's (2018) study revealed that the social interaction with host academic community members are key to international graduate students' ADS. Also, Ahmadi and Abd. Samad (2015) implied that learners' participation in language-mediated sociolcultural activities like group discussion plays an important role in students' engagement and acquisition of the sociocultural, linguistic knowledge and practice rules.…”

“…The literature in recent years has also expanded to include the research examining the changing participation and identities of specific student populations such as students taking online courses or participating in online communities (Beckett et al, 2010; Prinsloo et al, 2016; Yim, 2011), students using hybrid communication model (Chang & Sperling, 2014), exchange students (P. A. Duff, 2007a), student teachers in the final year of the undergraduate studies (Dumlao, 2020; Esquinca, 2012), and in-service teachers attending graduate programs (Ahmadi & Abd. Samad, 2015; Ahmadi et al, 2013).…”

“…Only a few studies focused on university students’ discourse socialization in English as foreign language settings from non-Western parts of the world to provide a global coverage, such as Malaysia (Mahfoodh, 2014), China( Lan, 2018; Li, 2005; Pu & Xu, 2022; Zuo et al, 2022), Northern Cyprus (Hadizadeh & Vefali, 2022; Hadizadeh & Vefalı, 2021), Thailand (Dumlao, 2020), Iran (Ahmadi & Abd. Samad, 2015; Ahmadi et al, 2013), Spain (Moore, 2014), South Korea (Prinsloo et al, 2016), Japan (Matsumura, 2001), Kazakhstan (Goodman & Montgomery, 2020), and Philippine (Domingo, 2021).…”

“…In small-group discussions, instructors’ and learners’ participation and performance would have weighty consequences in academic and social aspects. The collaborative group discussion can also be an important means to build a social network where participants are able to engage actively in the disciplinary learning process within their classroom or team (Ahmadi & Abd. Samad, 2015; Vickers, 2008).…”

Despite several attempts made to analyze students’ socialization into academic discourse in relevant reviews, we still lack a topical study providing an overview of how students are apprenticed into academic communities through oral activities at post-secondary institutions. This study aims at contributing to a comprehensive overview of both theoretical and empirical studies in the field of academic discourse socialization (ADS). A systematic review approach was adopted due to the qualitative and quantitative research design and connections between theory and evidence. The material search of ADS literature published between 2000 and 2022 resulted in 72 studies in total. While the synthesis of theoretical studies reveal the extant definitions, categorization of characteristics and theoretical orientations, the empirical study findings compare differences in participants and contexts, research approaches, communication events, and academic outcomes. This review also discusses major areas of research concerning ADS, mainly types of socialization agents, students’ feedback, learners’ identity construction, and assessment of consequences of ADS. With limitations concluded, the review encourages further focused investigation into micro-macro connections, application of digital technologies, a wider range of participants, disciplines and contexts, multiple types of oral activities and perspectives, learners’ linguistic production as well as correlation of oral and written texts, and joint efforts from multiple sides.

Higher education students are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of being successful in oral academic presentations (OAP) in their academic endeavors. For English as a second language students in English-medium institutions, it also provides them with opportunities for language socialization. However, succeeding in the delivery of an OAP comes with various challenges emerging from linguistic and psychological factors. This small-case study explores OAPs as an oral academic socialization activity by documenting the strategies that 13 international undergraduate students in a large private Philippine university use to cope with the difficulties facing them in preparing and presenting an OAP. Using language socialization as the theoretical framework and semi-structured interviews to gather data, it identifies and explains eight personal strategies (six still employed and two no longer used) and discusses various factors that play a vital role in applying these strategies. The three most commonly used strategies are adopted to ensure a successful and acceptable OAP, typically a graded task. The two least frequently used ones are yet to be employed successfully. In applying these strategies, students not only perform the required academic task but are also engaged in different levels and frequencies of language socialization before and during the delivery of an OAP. Pedagogical implications in the use of OAPs as an academic task for language socialization in higher education are also discussed.
