Annotation

This book explores how the urban disadvantaged in a New Delhi government school acquire English as a second language, linking this process to broader social and economic globalization processes in a developing country. Via call centre research, it demonstrates the (English competence) requirements of new workplaces and how government schools change curricula in order to meet this demand.
