Vocationally Speaking: (Further) Educational Construction of "Workplace Identities."

Sarangi, Srikant

Language and Education, v10 n2&3 p201-20 1996

Examines how two competing identities--one educational and the other, workplace--are negotiated by further education (FE) students and sustained through the FE provision in Britain. The article argues that the competing educational and workplace identities are constituted in the contradictions and ambiguities inherent in FE. (42 references) (Author/CK)
