Abstract Secondary school students have to learn how to write comprehensible paragraphs as part of a text. But to this very day it is not clear to these students and their teachers what exactly the standards, the language norms, are for a comprehensible paragraph. The study summarised here presents a reconstruction of language norms for a paragraph in Dutch and legitimises these on the basis of theoretical and empirical research outcomes in Linguistics and Discourse Analysis. An analysis of 29 Dutch professional advisory books shows that paragraphs are seen as important textual elements. Although advisory books differ considerably with respect to the level of detail in which paragraph norms are discussed, they converge on the nature of those norms. Textbooks used in the teaching of Dutch as a first language, however, witness a striking diversity with respect to the paragraph norms they mention. The current study contributes to the development of a theoretically grounded and practical approach that helps teachers train their students in writing adequate paragraphs.

Chbab Srey (Code of Conduct for Women) is an important piece of Khmer literature outlining expected behavior for girls and women in Cambodia. Pieces of the poem are taught in secondary school and interwoven into the educational experiences of girls and female teachers, yet there is little research on Chbab Srey in education. Using discourse analysis, this article considers the influence of Chbab Srey on gender-related education policy in Cambodia. This research highlights the juxtaposition of Chbab Srey and gender mainstreaming in education policy and in the curricular experiences of girls and teachers in Cambodia, and introduces an unexamined and culturally coveted piece of Cambodian curriculum to the fields of teacher-related policy and girls’ education.
