Code Choice in theLanguage Classroom Glenn S. Levine (University ofCalifornia, Irvine)

An extremely timely book on one of themost vexing issues in foreign languageteaching: how much code-switching isacceptable or even desirable in the 21stcentury L2 classroom? Through a soundtheoretical framework and concretepedagogical examples, Glenn Levinedevelops an exciting, innovativemultilingual approach to curriculumdesign, teaching, and articulation thatengages the students in the co-construction of code choice conventions.

Claire Kramsch, University of California at Berkeley, USA

Code Choice in the Language Classroom argues that the foreignlanguage classroom is and should be regarded as a multilingualcommunity of practice rather than as a perpetually deficientimitator of an exclusive second-language environment. From asociocultural and ecological perspective, Levine guides the readerthrough a theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical treatment of theimportant roles of the first language, and of code-switchingpractices, in the language classroom.

Simon-Maeda’s poignantautoethnography makes a compellingreading, whose significance transcendsthat of a common autobiography.Interweaving personal experiences withscholarly insights, her feminist accountilluminates the socio-politicalsituatedness of second language learningand reveals ways in which a second

language self is fashioned both within and against norms prevalent inone’s adopted society.

Academies and EducationalReform Governance, Leadership andStrategyElizabeth Leo (Durham University),David Galloway (DurhamUniversity) and Phil Hearne(Northumberland Church ofEngland Academy)

The development of Academies is a highprofile initiative which has given rise toa large number of publications.However, as the analysis in this bookillustrates, many of these consist either

of polemic or of attempts at evaluation with limited sophistication orsuccess. By asking the question 'what can be learned from theAcademies programme?' this book provides a different perspective. Therange of interviews with key informants provides concrete original dataaround which the discussion and analysis are skilfully woven

Mike Fleming, University of Durham, UK

Academies were developed to replace schools struggling toeducate children and young people living in disadvantagedcommunities. This book considers what has distinguishedacademies from other secondary schools and whether academiescan legitimately be seen as an effective way to achieve sustainedimprovement in state schools.
