Audible Difference: ESL and Social Identities in Schools

by Jennifer Miller

Overview

This book is about the relationship between learning English as an additional language and the ways in which immigrant students are able to represent their identities at school. In high schools, how such students are heard by others may be just as important as how they speak.
