This volume brings together scholars from around the world to juxtapose the voices of classroom participants alongside the voices of ruling elites with the aim of critically linking language policy issues with classroom practice in a range of contexts. The volume is suitable for postgraduate students, researchers and educators in a range of areas.

Industry Reviews

This is a wonderfully probing volume that takes nothing for granted about the role of English and English language teaching in postcolonial contexts across our globe. Based on their own close ethnographic knowledge, the authors offer critical analyses of contradictions and tensions in real cases of language education planning in these multilingual contexts, and the commentators and editors engage in serious dialogue with them about the cases and the tendencies they reveal. The overall effect is a rousing call -- and some guiding principles -- to construct language in education policy and pedagogy in ways that enable hitherto marginalised groups to grab hold of new possibilities and opportunities as they emerge under the forces of globalisation.
