Language, Schools and Classrooms (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) cover

The role of language is central in education – but there is much debate about the exact relation between children’s language and their educational success. The author provides a clear guide to the basic issues in the debates over language deficit, standard English and classroom language, and in this edition he shows how work in sociolinguistics can give a better understanding of the place of language in education and society.

‘The book is extremely well written and clearly shows the author’s concern with the classroom...’ The Times Higher Education Supplement
