In this ground breaking new book David Block proposes a new working
definition of social class in applied linguistics. Traditionally,
research on language and identity has focused on aspects such as
race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion and sexuality.
Political economy, and social class, as an identity inscription,
have been undervalued. This book argues that increasing
socioeconomic inequality, which has come with the consolidation of
neoliberal policies and practices worldwide, requires changes in
how we think about identity and proposes that social class should
be brought to the fore as a key construct. Social Class in Applied
Linguistics begins with an in-depth theoretical discussion of
social class before considering the extent to which social class
has been a key construct in three general areas of applied
linguistics- sociolinguistics, bi/multilingualism and second
language acquisition and learning research. Throughout the book,
Block suggests ways in which social class might be incorporated
into future applied linguistics research. A critical read for
postgraduate students and researchers in the areas of applied
linguistics, language education and TESOL.
