| Abstract | Current thinking about academic language and the variety of language appropriate to school and similar settings is discussed. Recent literature concerning academic language is explored, and common themes and significant observations that emerge when the concept is viewed from a sociological perspective are examined. The research reviewed includes investigations of language minority students' control of the English called for in the decontextualized language situations of the classroom, and the features and functions of academic language. Four major themes are identified: that (1) academic language is grounded in school culture; (2) academic language is primarily non-interactive; (3) linguistic skill is necessary for academic language proficiency; and (4) academic language proficiency depends on content knowledge, particularly metalinguistic knowledge. The place for academic language is in the social context of the classroom and similar settings. Further research in this area should focus on successful and less successful classroom interactions, participant accounts of behaviors and beliefs, the language requirements of specific registers, and techniques for maximizing the use of language skills children bring with them to the classroom.
