Neue Buchreihe

The Critical Approaches in Applied Linguistics book series focuses on methods of inquiry, approaches, theories, concepts, and topics in applied linguistics that are critical in nature – that is, geared toward interrogating the relationship between language and the (re)creation of present and possible worlds. The field of applied linguistics has traditionally focused on ‘real world issues’. In recent years, there has been a socially-oriented turn that considers issues including language policy, language assessment, language acquisition, discourse, and other topics from a critical perspective. This critical approach not only describes social issues but recognizes societal inequities and seeks to intentionally address them. The series has a social change and social justice orientation to allow editors, authors, and readers to engage in critical dialogue about relevant topics from an applied linguistics perspective.

The books in the series take interdisciplinary approaches to focus on key topics (e.g., language and education; language, race, and racism; heritage language socialization; heritage and indigenous language education) using a range of methodological approaches (e.g., critical discourse analysis, participatory action research, narrative inquiry, ethnographies, case studies). This book series provides a distinctive forum for scholars and practitioners to engage with these approaches and topics to move towards social action around the world. Early career scholars are especially encouraged to submit proposals to the series.

Family Language Policy as Sociocultural Practice

Critical Ethnographic Perspectives in Beijing, China

Lu Liu

Band 3 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

This critical ethnographic study investigates the family language policies of five middle-income families in Beijing, China. Family language policy (FLP), through which parents socialize their children, serves as a barometer for wider social processes that construct linguistic statuses and hierarchies. China is a particularly salient site for investigating FLP, as it is a rapidly globalizing nation and home to one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. In its national language policy, China has embraced early acquisition of English and Mandarin-English bilingualism. This study examines how the parents’ language policies inform their children’s language practices in the home, what roles parents’ implicit and explicit language policies play in their children’s language socialization processes, and how parental language ideologies affect their children’s multi-layered identity construction in a globalizing context. The study fills a gap in the critical applied linguistics scholarship on bridging multiple scales and levels – family, school, national-level policy, and macro-level globalizing forces.
