In reviewing the international literature on this vital subject, this book examines three groups who seem most affected by unfair language practices in education: women and girls; minority cultural groups; and minority social groups. The author confirms that reforms are urgently needed in the approaches that schools and school systems everywhere adopt when treating matters of language use. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with the interplay between language and power in education, and between language policy and social justice. Chapters 3 to 6 range across classrooms, schools, and school systems, exploring questions of gender and language injustice, standard and non-standard language, bilingual and second language education, and minority culture values and discourse norms. These chapters overlap their treatment wherever similar justice issues affect more than one group. For example, when the members of a minority group are girls, language injustices tend to multiply. Chapter 7 presents recommendations for school action, addressing the interests of non-dominant groups in general. Its major sections cover social justice through communicative action in schools, school language policies, and critical language awareness.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611461886225,"sku":"GOR003315341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853592099.jpg?v=1750866518"},{"product_id":"changing-education-for-diversity-book-david-corson-9780335195879","title":"Changing Education for Diversity","description":"How can schools become more welcoming places for students from backgrounds of diversity? How can teachers respond to student diversity and still provide high quality education for all? Reforms to education for diversity are now getting world-wide attention because of the great population shifts over the last two or three generations. These migrations highlight issues that once went unnoticed, even in countries that always had large minority groups. A climate favoring the more tolerant treatment of students from diverse backgrounds is affecting schools everywhere. And important changes are taking place in the education of: girls from immigrant cultures; indigenous cultural groups; the urban poor; and language minorities. Using an international and cross-cultural scope, this book presents policies and practices that already work in real schools, and which the world of education can learn from.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49655728636177,"sku":"GOR013240837","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335195873.jpg?v=1751324530"},{"product_id":"domitia-and-domitian-book-david-corson-9780595089376","title":"Domitia and Domitian","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51004580823313,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51004583870737,"sku":"NIN9780595089376","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149823209745,"sku":"NLS9780595089376","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0595089372.jpg?v=1751041354"},{"product_id":"language-policy-in-schools-book-david-corson-9780805832969","title":"Language Policy in Schools","description":"Language Policy in Schools provides school administrators and teachers a practical approach for designing a language policy for their school and for dealing with the language issues that confront schools, particularly those operating in settings of linguistic and cultural diversity.

What made him so remarkable? This novel is a narrative historical account of the lives of the emperor and his consort. It describes the extraordinary events that brought the couple to power and the timeless achievements of that power. The book traces Trajan's early life as a soldier, through his marriage, service to Domitian and rise to influence, and looks at Plotina's early life in Provence, her philosophical interests, and the events that allowed her to become a partner in greatness. It includes a unique recreation of Trajan's lost 'Dacian Commentaries' which cover the Balkan wars that Rome fought to bring Romania inside the Empire. And it traces the military expeditions that helped fulfill Trajan's expansionist dreams, reaching across Iraq, Iran, Arabia, and up into Southern Russia. All this is presented inside a dynamic narrative account that engages the reader.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52121725239569,"sku":"NLS9780595280445","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52735907528977,"sku":"NIN9780595280445","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780595280445.jpg?v=1757434097"},{"product_id":"language-policy-in-schools-book-david-corson-9780805830057","title":"Language Policy in Schools","description":"Provides school administrators and teachers a practical approach for dealing with the language problems that confront modern schools in pluralist contexts.

This book makes quite clear the links between oral language, knowledge and learning. Early chapters assemble those claims relating to oral language and education about which we can be reasonably certain. Later chapters use this knowledge as a basis for suggesting practical ways that oral language work can be used to promote learning in all subject areas at every level. The book is written in a style designed to attract and hold the interest both of experienced teachers and of teachers in training. It is international in subject matter and appeal, drawing on the most respected views of theorists and practitioners in the language disciplines and in education. The book is written by an experienced teacher educator who is also a widely respected language theorist. The author has deliberately consulted the needs and interests of teachers in training, over a long period, in preparing this book. He provides approaches, a rationale, and techniques that work with ordinary children in ordinary classrooms from early childhood to late adolescence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52848426746129,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52848428220689,"sku":"NLS9780585149738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780585149738.jpg?v=1764839175"},{"product_id":"language-policy-across-the-curriculum-book-david-corson-9781853590689","title":"Language Policy Across the Curriculum","description":"Language policies across the curriculum (LPAC) identify areas where first, second or foreign language problems exist for the school and propose firm working solutions to those problems.
