Abstract:

This book presents evolving language education trends by drawing examples and
case studies from around the world. Over the past few decades, significant
economic and political changes have taken place around the world which have
had a significant impact on language teaching and learning practices across
the globe. There is a clear movement towards multilingual practices in the
contemporary world, evinced by the title of UNESCO’s 2003 education position
paper, “Education in a Multilingual World”. With globalization, the focus of
language education has shifted from monolingualism towards bilingualism and
multilingualism, in that multilingual practices have become the norm rather
than the exception in most parts of the world. Nonetheless, most existing
books on language education in general and books on bilingualism and
multilingualism in particular have largely ignored or simply eluded the
concept of globalization and its influences on language education policies and
practices. This book brings together some of latest controversies and case
studies from South East Asia, the most diverse and multilingual context in the
world, along with various other diverse contexts of importance. This book will
be of interest to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and bilingual and multicultural
education, second and foreign language educators, and other specialists in
these fields.
