This ethnographically informed investigation focuses on W., a Yemeni immigrant in the United Kingdom during the last eleven months of the citizenship process. In this time, he encounters linguistic trials involving the Life in the UK citizenship test, community life, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) adult education and the citizenship ceremony. The richness of data allows for a nuanced portrayal of the complexities becoming a citizen, a particularly significant contribution since the UK's move towards an assimilationist form of citizenship, reflected in the introduction of a citizenship test within a broader socio-political climate which promotes the use of English. Drawing upon a wide range of theorists, from philosophy, psychology and linguistics, this book offers a detailed analysis of the process of becoming a citizen and makes an original contribution to the area of citizenship in language testing, sociolinguistics, sociology and ethnic relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Citizenship and language in the UK -- Becoming -- The Life in the UK Test -- Ideological becoming -- ESOL and becoming -- The citizenship ceremony. 650 0 $a Naturalization $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Language policy $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Ability testing $z Great Britain $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Great Britain $x Language $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Cultural assimilation $z Great Britain $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Cultural assimilation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967721 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967748 650 7 $a Language and languages $x Ability testing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992155 650 7 $a Language policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992402 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 653 $a Life in the UK test 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 776 08 $i Online version: $a Khan, Kamran, 1980- author. $t Becoming a citizen $d London, UK ; New York, NY : Bloomsbury Academic, 2019 $z 9781350038134 $w (DLC) 2018041117 830 0 $a Advances in sociolinguistics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB1F4BF20C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
