Illustrated by case studies of the\nlanguage learning experiences of five Asian immigrant students in an\nEnglish-medium school in Singapore, the author examines how the immigrant\nstudents negotiated a standard English ideology and their discursive\npositioning over the course of the school year. Specifically, the study traces\nhow the prevailing standard English ideology interacted in highly complex ways\nwith their being positioned as high academic achievers to ultimately influence\ntheir learning of English. This potent combination of language ideologies and\ncirculating ideologies created a designer student immigration complex. By\nframing this situation as a complex, the study problematizes the power of ideologies\nin shaping the trajectories and identities of language learners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319302096\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-30211-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 173\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587151093900,"sku":"9783319302096","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319302096.jpg?v=1775051046","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319302096","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
