“This book explores the hidden stories of migrants in the UK and the unseen stories that lie behind thematic analyses of interviews. York’s Hidden Stories: Interviews in Applied Linguistics highlights the social practices involved in research interviewing, and makes practical recommendations for eliciting narratives. Written in an engaging style with numerous examples, this book provides a theoretically-informed, up-to-date guide for how to do high-quality interview research. A valuable contribution to the field of applied linguistics!” –Kathryn Roulston, Mary Frances Early College of Education, University of Georgia, USA "In their compelling argument for theorizing the data-generating technology of the research interview, Zhurauskaya and Wicaksono provide an important contribution to the developing scholarship in applied linguistics on the inherent sociality of research methods. The volume is a must-read for researchers and students who are committed to moving beyond simplistic ‘you ask-they answer-then you know’ approaches to interviewing that continue to vex empirical inquiry in today’s ‘Interview Society'." --Steven Talmy, University of British Columbia, Canada This book explores the mechanics of storytelling within a study aimed at focusing on a ‘hidden’ population of migrants in the city of York, UK. Taking applied linguistics to mean the consideration of real-world ‘problems’ as identified by a ‘client’, in which the use of (and beliefs about) language is a significant component, the authors describe the benefits and challenges of working in a partnership with a community organisation. With project participants from Africa, Europe, Asia and South and Central America who had lived in York between two and fifty years, the study considers the co-construction of meaning in interviews from a range of practical and theoretical perspectives. The book will be of interest to students, academic researchers and community project leaders who are interested in migration stories and interviews as a method of data collection. Rachel Wicaksono is Associate Professor and Head of the School of Education, Language and Psychology at York St John University, UK. Dasha Zhurauskaya was awarded a Master’s by Research from the University of Leeds after completing a BA (Hons) in English Language and Linguistics at York St John University, UK.

In applied linguistics, being explicit about ontologies of English, and how they underpin educational ideologies and professional practices, is essential. For the first time, this volume presents a critical examination of the ways in which English is conceptualised for learning, teaching, and assessment, from both social and cognitive perspectives. Written by a team of leading scholars, it considers the language in a range of contexts and domains, including: models and targets for EFL, ESL and EAL teaching and testing, and the contested dominance of native-speaker 'standard' varieties; English as a school subject, using England's educational system as an example; English as a lingua franca, where typically several languages and cultures are in contact; and English as broader social practice in a world characterised by unprecedented mobility and destabilisation. Readers are provided with a balanced set of perspectives on ontologies of English and a valuable resource for educational research and practice.
