English education policy 

Call for papers
Upcoming Volume in the prestigious Springer Language Policy series
http://www.springer.com/series/6209

This new volume, due for publication in late 2013 is part of the Language
Policy series.
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.

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.

Information for writers

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 country's policy should be elucidated and writers should
supply background information including political, economic and cultural
elements that relate to the learning of English.

It may be useful if writers also compare, to some extent, the policies and
level of English with other countries in the region.

An initial outline of the paper should be sent as soon as possible, and the
final draft ready for review, by August 2013
