Abstract :	[en] Drawing on fieldwork in a primary school in rural Gambia, West Africa, this article foregrounds the notion of voice as analytical heuristics for understanding language in education. Arguing for more attention to voices from the field and for critical reflection on the researcher’s voice in research, the article addresses the ways in which school children, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders voice their opinions and concerns about language in education in relation to official policy and practice.
