Reviews

Lara Krause presents a startlingly innovative, deeply meditative, yet meticulously reasoned and entirely convincing, approach to educational languaging. Substantiating her exhaustive interrogation of prevailing hypotheses with a thoroughgoing analysis of what actually happens in a township classroom, Krause develops a bold new conceptual framework. * Tessa Dowling, University of Cape Town, South Africa * In this book Lara Krause provides evidence-based and nuanced analysis of English language classrooms in a township setting. Guided by comprehensive understanding of relevant research and theory, she meticulously develops and uses the lens of (re)languaging to foreground the tension between linguistic fluidity and fixity, heterogeneity and homogeneity in language classrooms. Clearly argued and compelling, this book provides new insights into the complex relationships between language curricula and policy in contexts of linguistic diversity. * Pinky Makoe, University of Johannesburg, South Africa * Lara Krause as elegantly as radically twists our perspective on language practices by heuristically setting the fluidity of language as norm and then rigorously following this intellectual project throughout her compelling analysis. Apart from giving novel insight into the didactics of teaching in English in a fluid setting, she also demonstrates how we can overcome the disciplinary constraints that keep haunting the field. * Rose Marie Beck, Leipzig University, Germany *
