Using data from a long-term ethnographic study of English language
classrooms in a South African township, this book highlights
linguistic expertise in a setting where it is not usually expected
or sought. Rather than being 'peripheral and unskilled', South
African township teachers and learners emerge as skilled
(re)languagers central to the workings of South African education,
and to our understanding of how language classrooms work. This book
foregrounds the heterogeneity, flexibility and creativity of
day-to-day language practices that African urban spaces are known
for, and conceptualises language teaching not as a progression from
one fixed language to another, but as a circular sorting process
between linguistic heterogeneity (languaging) and homogeneity (a
standard language).
