Posh Talk: Language and Identity in Higher Education is an in-depth study of a group of multilingual first-year undergraduate students from widening participation backgrounds as a university in London. All were taking an academic writing programme set up to improve student retention during the transition into higher education. Through a detailed examination of spoken interaction, the book explores ways in which identity positions emerge, with a particular focus on gender. Key issues discussed in the book include the students' experience of 'Otherness' in higher education, the attraction of laddishness for establishing friendly social relationships with peers and resisting the stigma of remedial English, the construction of a 'slang/posh' dichotomy to contrast the students' everyday language with that of the academic community, a critique of the notion of language remediation in higher education contexts and an argument for treating multilingual students' cultural perspectiveness and linguistic repertories as a resource.
