Style, Identity and Literacy: English in Singapore is a qualitative
study of the literacy practices of a group of Singaporean
adolescents, relating their patterns of interaction - both inside
and outside the classroom - to the different levels of social
organization in Singaporean society (home, peer group and school).
Combining field data gathered through a series of detailed
interviews with available classroom observations, the study focuses
on six adolescents from different ethnic and social backgrounds as
they negotiate the learning of English against the backdrop of
multilingual Singapore. This book provides social explanations for
the difficulties and challenges these adolescents face by drawing
on current developments in sociolinguistics, literacy studies,
English language teaching and language policy.
