Abstract:

This collection of innovative, thought-provoking papers discusses 
contemporary issues, practices and research related to the role and teaching 
of English in multilingual countries. The papers, written by experienced 
practitioners in the field from a number of different countries, examine how 
the English language can be more effectively taught to students in Asia who 
speak English as their second, third or fourth language. The book will be of 
interest not only to linguists, language teachers and educators but also to 
social science researchers involved in exploring the effects language policy 
can have on education and society at large. 

The eleven chapters in this book are divided into three sections: multilingual 
aspects in the teaching and learning of English, code-switching and code-
mixing, and assessment. Their authors came to Karachi from different 
academic, cultural and geographic backgrounds and with diverse experiences 
of the world of English Language Teaching in order to participate in the Fifth 
International Seminar hosted by the Aga Khan University Centre of English 
Language. 

The contributors are all multi-linguals for whom the question of how best to 
teach languages is a challenge they face on a daily basis. This small 
collection of papers is likely to become a powerful resource for English 
teachers, scholars, and researchers interested in the problems facing 
language educators in today's multilingual, multi-cultural world.
