In many parts of the world the language education scenario is
increasingly dynamic, as demographic, economic and social changes
powerfully influence socio-political agendas in the sphere of
language education. These in turn impact on complex issues such as
linguistic pluralism, multiculturalism, and marginalization. This
is especially so in the sphere of second language education where
local, national and regional concerns often dominate the objectives
underpinning policy choice and prioritisation. This volume brings
together scholars and researchers from a wide range of different
educational contexts and turns a sociolinguistic lens on some of
the key areas of concern for researchers in language education:
critical awareness of power and identity issues; competence in
dealing with new sociolinguistic repertoires, modalities and
literacies; ethical concerns for all who are involved. The 'case
study' approach enables the reader to reflect on and critically
engage with these issues in a rich variety of contextual
situations, and the volume as a whole provides a useful overview of
(second) language education in the world today.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE brings to students,
researchers and practitioners in all of the social and
language-related sciences carefully selected book-length
publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings
and applications. It approaches the study of language in society in
its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary
field in which various approaches, theoretical and empirical,
supplement and complement each other. The series invites the
attention of linguists, language teachers of all interests,
sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, historians
etc. to the development of the sociology of language.
