FUTURES Sociolinguists in Britain have been fighting language-based prejudice for decades. Whilst generally claiming to reject appropriate-based models of language education as critiqued by Flores and Rosa, even UK proponents of critical language awareness have paid little, if any, attention to race (e.g. Fairclough, [6]). These colonially situated language ideologies continue to define which communities get perceived as more legitimate than others, yet have been dismissed or ignored in canonical UK sociolinguistic scholarship.
