Language, literacy, and learning in educational practice
Synopsis
This collection examines the highly debated areas of language and literacy in education, exploring how social and political values often influence curriculum decisions more than academic research. It introduces new conceptual frameworks for understanding language, literacy, and learning, drawing from diverse fields like anthropology and social psychology. The papers aim to help readers apply these theoretical developments to their everyday educational practice.
