Abstract:

Using data from a long-term ethnographic study of English language classrooms
in a South African township, this book highlights linguistic expertise in a
setting where it is not usually expected or sought. Rather than being
‘peripheral and unskilled’, South African township teachers and learners
emerge as skilled (re)languagers central to the workings of South African
education, and to our understanding of how language classrooms work. This book
foregrounds the heterogeneity, flexibility and creativity of day-to-day
language practices that African urban spaces are known for, and conceptualises
language teaching not as a progression from one fixed language to another, but
as a circular sorting process between linguistic heterogeneity (languaging)
and homogeneity (a standard language).
