This book offers a linguistic ethnographic account of secondary
schooling in Umbria, Italy, examining the complex intersection of
language, socioeconomic class, social persona, and school choice to
provide a holistic portrait of the situatedness of student
"success." The book explores the everyday sociolinguistic practices
at the three types of Italian secondary schools in Umbria-the
lyceum, the technical institute, and the vocational school-and the
language ideologies and de facto language policies associated with
them. An analysis of narrative, interviews, and classroom discourse
unpacks the ways in which students are socialized by both peers and
teachers into specific academic discourses and specialized forms of
knowledge throughout their school careers. In those close analyses
of the micro-interactional contexts of three classrooms, drawing on
a corpus of naturally occurring classroom discourse, the volume
illuminates the ways in which certain forms of talk are exalted
while others policed and how students either submit to or resist
the social labels ascribed to them. This account contributes new
insights into the ways in which educational institutions are
constructed and maintained via talk. This book will be of interest
to students and scholars interested in educational linguistics,
linguistic anthropology, classroom discourse, streamed-tracked
education systems, and education policy.
