Abstract:

Style, Identity and Literacy: English in Singapore is a qualitative study of the 
literacy practices of a group of Singaporean adolescents, relating their patterns 
of interaction - both inside and outside the classroom - to the different levels of 
social organization in Singaporean society (home, peer group and school). 
Combining field data gathered through a series of detailed interviews with 
available classroom observations, the study focuses on six adolescents from 
different ethnic and social backgrounds as they negotiate the learning of English 
against the backdrop of multilingual Singapore. This book provides social 
explanations for the difficulties and challenges these adolescents face by 
drawing on current developments in sociolinguistics, literacy studies, English 
language teaching and language policy.
