| Abstract: |
This paper explores, from the point of view of critical policy studies, how global discourses on inclusion, re-articulated in specific school settings, affect linguistic literacy curriculum enactments. The study draws on the theory of enactment of Ball and his colleagues, and on Bernstein’s theory of the pedagogic device. The research data has been produced by semi-structured interviews and classroom observations in six lower secondary state schools in the inner city of Athens, in Greece, with different rates of disadvantaged student populations. Our findings suggest that discourses on inclusion, translated in diverse ways in local school settings, affect teachers’ pedagogic practices in ways that tend to reproduce educational inequalities in the most disadvantaged school contexts.
