Summary

This book, addressed to experienced and novice language educators, provides an up-to-date overview of sociolinguistics, reflecting changes in the global situation and the continuing evolution of the field and its relevance to language education around the world. Topics covered include nationalism and popular culture, style and identity, creole languages, critical language awareness, gender and ethnicity, multimodal literacies, classroom discourse, and ideologies and power. Whether considering the role of English as an international language or innovative initiatives in Indigenous language revitalization, in every context of the world sociolinguistic perspectives highlight the fluid and flexible use of language in communities and classrooms, and the importance of teacher practices that open up spaces of awareness and acceptance of --and access to--the widest possible communicative repertoire for students.

    What Are Story Grid Beats? 
    We think about the story creation process (writing) as one big “problem.”   
    You simply want to travel from where you are right now (without a story that works) to a place where your story takes on a life of its own. It works. 
    We submit to you that the practical way to unpack that very big problem is by breaking it into smaller, more easily solvable units.   
    Just as performers break down acting challenges into moment to moment micro-actions they call beats, so do Story Grid Beat books break your story problems into specific high-resolution mini-puzzles.  
    They’re like global positioning system reports for when you find yourself lost on your author’s journey. And once they clearly define the problem at hand, they offer procedural advice about how best to reframe your approach and solve it in your own unique way.  
    After all, you can’t begin to solve a problem until you clearly know what it is. You Are Not the Problem. The Problems are the Problem.
