Abstract:

The last two decades have seen a good deal of work in educational linguistics, 
which has created a deeper understanding of how language works in different 
varieties of discourse and what a teacher needs to know for engaging 
successfully in language education.  In this sense, the focus has been largely 
on instructional discourse - i.e., what is to be taught.  The chapters of this book 
attempt to widen the field by focussing on who is being taught.  After all, the 
true active element in the processes of education is the learner.  Children have 
already acquired specific ways of learning, long before they enter the 
classroom, and in pluralistic societies learning styles vary systematically 
across communities.  This book argues on the one hand the need to attend to 
the different voices in the classroom, and on the other to encourage an attitude 
of enquiry which creates awareness of the power of discourse in maintaining 
and/or changing societies.
