Beschreibung

"This book explores the marginalisation that EAL learners, immigrant or language-minoritized children and adults confront in various schooling and non-schooling contexts when learning to use the language of schooling. The contributions examine how the notion and practice of academic language has become racialized. In doing so, the authors are not being dismissive of it completely; rather, they scrutinize its presence and impact on individuals' lives as their reality. This book is relevant for teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers who not only refuse the deficiency orientations placed on non-standardized use of language, but also want to deconstruct the perpetuated power standardized academic language holds in the lives of language-minoritized students"--
