Reihe: Routledge Studies in Sociolinguistics

This volume advocates for a reimagining of the teaching of English and of the existing literature on translingualism in light of this present ever-changing era of linguistic superdiversity. The book seeks to destabilize underlying attitudes inherent in the narrowly conceptualized view of Englishes prevalent in teaching practice today by pushing forward current theories of translingualism and integrating cutting-edge scholarship from sociolinguistics, critical theory, rhetoric and composition, and education. The volume also looks outside the classroom, featuring interviews with recruiters in a number of professional fields to examine the ways in which particular language ideologies about Englishes are valued in the professional realm and their impact on students entering the workforce. This book offers an innovative take on current debates on superdiversity and World Englishes, serving as an ideal resource for students and scholars in applied linguistics, English language teaching, sociolinguistics, composition studies, and education.
