Masculinities and femininities go to preschool. Gender positioning in discourse

This original application of Feminist Post-Structuralist Discourse Analysis (FPDA) to the field of learning English as a foreign language reveals how the construction of masculine and feminine identities is both multi faceted and multi dimensional. Through a detailed analysis, Dr Castañeda-Peña´s work provides evidence of how gender issues played out on a daily basis affect young childrens access to language acquisition. We would recommend this innovative and exciting work to school teachers, policy makers, researchers, school inspector, Governing bodies and teacher educators and students in universities.
