THE SOCIOLINGUISTICS OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN I...

In many parts of the world the language education scenario is increasingly dynamic  as
demographic  economic and social changes powerfully influence socio-political agendas in the
sphere of language education. These in turn impact on complex issues such as linguistic
pluralism  multiculturalism  and marginalization. This is especially so in the sphere of second
language education where local  national and regional concerns often dominate the objectives
underpinning policy choice and prioritisation. This volume brings together scholars and
researchers from a wide range of different educational contexts and turns a sociolinguistic
lens on some of the key areas of concern for researchers in language education: critical
awareness of power and identity issues  competence in dealing with new sociolinguistic
repertoires  modalities and literacies  ethical concerns for all who are involved. The 'case
study' approach enables the reader to reflect on and critically engage with these issues in a
rich variety of contextual situations  and the volume as a whole provides a useful overview of
(second) language education in the world today.
