Interaction in Complementary School Contexts: Developing Identities of Choice – An Introduction

Angela Creese1 and Peter Martin2 1School of Education, University of Birmingham, UK and 2University of East London, UK

The papers collected here are based on those presented at a colloquium entitled Interaction in Complementary School Contexts: Developing Identities of Choice at the Sociolinguistics Symposium 15 in Newcastle, April 2004. The colloquium was convened by the editors of this volume and Arvind Bhatt. The genesis for bringing together papers on complementary schools, a much under-researched area, was a project sponsored by the ESRC on Complementary Schools and their Communities in Leicester (Bhatt et al., 2004; Martin et al., 2004a, b).

Keywords: interaction, identity, complementary schools
