The Handbook of Language in Education is a compilation of essays that investigate and present the ways that relevant knowledge for educational policy is negotiated, linguistically constructed, and constituted. The essays cover the linguistic construction of the idea of "education" itself and an exploration of the ideological role ascribed to language in education.
