This book analyzes how the urban disadvantaged in the city of New
Delhi learn English. Using qualitative methods the author discusses
the pedagogy, texts and contexts in which biliteracy occurs and links
English language teaching and learning in India with the broader
social and economic processes of globalization in a developing
country. The study is situated in a government school, a site where
classrooms have rarely been qualitatively described, and where the
Three Language Formula (TLF) is being fundamentally transformed due to
increasing demand from the community for earlier access to the
linguistic capital of English. Through research conducted in a call
centre the author also shows what the requirements of new workplaces
are and how government schools are trying to meet this demand.
