This volume, one of eight in a series entitled Encyclopedia of
Language and Education, examines spoken language as a field of
study, looking at the various ways in which the place of talk can
be theorized in education, and examining the way talk is actually
done in educational settings. Given the centrality of
literacy-based practices in schools, a book focusing on talk brings
quite different and important perspectives to the study of
education. Talk is something that has often been devalued and taken
for granted. What becomes evident throughout the papers included in
this volume is that talk is of central importance in establishing
identities and the cultures in which those identities are located.
However, because people are unused to reflexively examining the way
they talk, there is a serious disjuncture between what they believe
talk should achieve and what can be seen to be achieved in actual
talk in educational settings.
