Teachers-in-Training and the Policing of Language Variation
In the domains of education and labor, we may expect to be assessed on competences and capacities. Alas, stereotyping and prejudice hinder this for people from peripheral areas and marginalized groups. One of the important factors in this is their language. Why does speaking with an accent diminish one’s opportunities in the job market or the achievements in one’s school career? Why are some accents better than other accents?In a pilot study at a teacher training college we addressed the question if future teachers of Dutch may or may not speak with an accent in the class room. Apparently, speaking with an accent will be tolerated by future teachers of Dutch, but it depends on which accent one uses. Indigenous accents are evaluated more positively than foreign accents, especially those we associate with labor migration.Although diversity in the pronunciation of Dutch may have increased, the social acceptance of accents is quite selective. Adolescents have to deal with stigmatized representations when people hear and assess their accents. Tolerance towards speaking with an accent is limited, and this may damage the position of young people from the countryside and specific ethnic groups
Introduction to Language policies and the politics of language practices
This edited Volume entitled Language policies and the politics of language practices consists of contributions stemming from the field of ethnography of education, minority language teaching and language politics more in general. Starting from past contributions hunched in a more Fishmanian ‘sociolinguistics of spread’ where the driving question has been who speaks which language to whom, where and why, the Volume shows how the study of language in society has moved toward a post-Fishmanian ‘sociolinguistics of mobility’ (Blommaert, 2010; Spotti, 2011; De Fina, 2020). At its core, there is an attempt to show and further grasp how globalization driven sociolinguistics phenomena across the globe have had an effect not only on language policy processes but also on how these policy processes and their politics are often confronted by the practices of language users in their micro-fabrics of daily interactions within the socio-cultural spaces they inhabit

This volume brings together empirical work that puts flesh on the bones of this rather abstract theorizing, focusing on the discursive construction of chronotopic identities"-
