Produktbeschreibung
Using data from a long-term ethnographic study of English language classrooms in a South African township, this book highlights linguistic expertise in a setting where it is not usually expected or sought. Rather than being 'peripheral and unskilled', South African township teachers and learners emerge as skilled (re)languagers central to the workings of South African education, and to our understanding of how language classrooms work. This book foregrounds the heterogeneity, flexibility and creativity of day-to-day language practices that African urban spaces are known for, and conceptualises language teaching not as a progression from one fixed language to another, but as a circular sorting process between linguistic heterogeneity (languaging) and homogeneity (a standard language).

Autorenporträt
Lara-Stephanie Krause-Alzaidi is Assistant Professor at the Institute of African Studies at Leipzig University. Her Ph.D. from the University of Cape Town Relanguaging language from a South African township school (2021; Multilingual Matters) re-conceptualizes named languages with the help of primary school teachers. She now takes her skepticism towards named languages further, questioning the concept of language itself by investigating, from a new materialist perspective, relationships between differently racialized bodies and elements of semiotic landscapes in Germany. She is interested in the materiality of words in relation to different bodies, and in how understanding this relationship can help in encountering the Other ethically.
