Description:

Oxford Brookes University is inviting applications for a full-time three-year Ph.D. 
studentship in educational linguistics and psychology to commence in September 
2011.  The successful applicant will work on a project entitled 'Educational and 
psycholinguistic perspectives on children and young people who speak non-standard 
varieties'.  The studentship covers all University fees at the home/EU rate and also 
provides an annual bursary of £13,000 which will increase by a 3% in each of the 
second and third years.

The overarching goal of the study is to assess whether the language performance 
and language attitudes of non-standard-speaking children changes after non-standard 
mother tongues are introduced into the classroom.  Subsequent lines of enquiry will 
investigate (1) the attitudes of non-standard-speaking children towards their non-
standard varieties and towards the standard variety used at school, (2) the attitudes 
of non-standard-speaking parents towards their non-standard varieties and towards 
the use of these varieties in formal education, (3) the attitudes of educators towards 
non-standard-speaking children, and (4) how educational policies can be modified to 
provide improved support to children and young people who speak non-standard 
varieties.

The successful candidate will be expected to work within one of the following areas 
with special reference to educational contexts: Aboriginal languages, minority 
languages, local languages, regional varieties, ethnic varieties, social varieties, 
nonstandard varieties, creoles and/or pidgins.
