English Education Policy in Asia and the Middle East
This volume includes comprehensive state-of-the-art reviews of Asian and
Middle Eastern countries’ English education policies, giving clear
assessments of the current policies and likely future trends.
The book gives a general description of English education policies in
the respective countries, and then delves into the 'nuts and bolts' of
the English education practice in the education system as a whole, in
the schools, in the curriculum and in teaching. Essays cover issues such
as the balance between English learning and the acquisition of the
national language, as well as political, cultural, economic and
technical aspects that strengthen or weaken the learning of English. </p><p class=""><br>
The book will be a critical read for policy makers, and will also help
English educators and administrators to better understand their role in
the implementation of the policies. </p><p class=""><br>
Information for writers <br>
Each essay should explore one country in the region and supply a
focussed and critical study that includes clear assessments of past,
present and future English education policies. Problems, limitations,
advantages and disadvantages of each countries policy should be
elucidated and writers should supply background information including
political, economic and cultural elements that relate to the learning of
English. <br>
It may be useful if writers also compare, to some extent, the policies and level of English with other countries in the region. <br>
