Language Ideologies: Critical Perspectives on the Official English Movement, Volume 1
Editor(s): Roseann Dueñas González, Ildikó Melis
Education and the Social Implications of Official Language
This collection addresses the complicated and divisive issues at the heart of the debate over language diversity and the English Only movement in U.S. public education. Blending social, political, and legal analyses of the ideologies of language with perspectives on the impact of the English Only movement on education and on classrooms at all levels, Language Ideologies offers a wide range of perspectives that teachers and literacy advocates can use to inform practice as well as policy.
The contributors to this first of two volumes come from varying backgrounds and together explore the political, legislative, social, and educational implications of language ideologies.
