Readings in Language Studies, Volume 1 - Language Across Disciplinary Boundaries (Paperback, New)

The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) inaugurates its first volume in the series Readings in Language Studies with Language Across Disciplinary Boundaries, a text that represents international perspectives on language and identity, critical pedagogy, language and power, perspectives on second language acquisition and teacher education. Founded in 2002, ISLS is a world-wide organization of volunteers, scholars and practitioners committed to critical, interdisciplinary, and emergent approaches to language studies. "There is no question that this volume is a valuable and timely addition to the literature on this very important topic, and one for which scholars concerned with issues of language, language education, and language and social justice should be grateful." Timothy Reagan Professor of Education Central Connecticut State University "This volume marks a valuable contribution and step forward in linguistic studies that purposefully embrace critical perspectives through theory, methodology, and findings." Lisa Patel Stevens President, International Society for Language Studies Assistant Professor of Education Boston College "The International Society for Language Studies is increasingly recognized at the forefront of encouraging research on language and power. This book is an exciting step forward in that mission, with selections that reflect the wide range of important issues needing attention from scholars. The contributions are impressive, merging scholarly rigor with a concern for social justice." Terry A. Osborn Professor and Chair of Curriculum and Teaching Fordham University Graduate School of Education
