This book, addressed to experienced and novice language educators,
provides an up-to-date overview of sociolinguistics, reflecting
changes in the global situation and the continuing evolution of the
field and its relevance to language education around the world. Topics
covered include nationalism and popular culture, style and identity,
creole languages, critical language awareness, gender and ethnicity,
multimodal literacies, classroom discourse, and ideologies and power.
Whether considering the role of English as an international language
or innovative initiatives in Indigenous language revitalization, in
every context of the world sociolinguistic perspectives highlight the
fluid and flexible use of language in communities and classrooms, and
the importance of teacher practices that open up spaces of awareness
and acceptance of --and access to--the widest possible communicative
repertoire for students.
