Subject: Call for Book Chapters: The Englishisation of Education in Europe in Public Discourses: Critical Discourse Approaches

 
Contributions are invited for an edited volume on The Englishisation of
Education in Europe in Public Discourses: Critical Discourse Approaches 
to be submitted to Benjamins book series: Discourse Approaches to Politics,
Society and Culture

The teaching of English in Europe, and delivery of entire University
programmes in English, have seen unprecedented acceleration since the Bologna
declaration in 1999; a phenomenon that has received much scholarly attention
(e.g. Doiz et al., 2012) and continues to offer rich ground for conceptual
debate (Phillipson, 2006). 

At secondary school level, English as a foreign language increasingly
displaces other L2s in many European countries (e.g. Erling & Hilgendorf,
2006); at primary level, the teaching of English has become the norm across
much of Europe (Enever 2011). Nonetheless, the penetration of English varies
enormously among EU countries, leading many to express concerns over the
educational disbenefits of the ‘English frenzy'.

Few studies (e.g. Gnutzman et al. 2012) have examined how learners themselves
experience these phenomena; fewer still have asked how Englishisation is
perceived by the general public, and debated in public. 

For this reason, an edited volume on public discourses of the Englishisation
of education in Europe is proposed. Chapter proposals for studies carrying out
a Discourse Analysis (any CD method) of public discourses debating
Englishisation of education in any EU country are welcome. Such discourses may
include, for instance:

(commercial) news 
printed media (using Nexis)
online media
TV and radio media
social media discourse
political speeches
parliamentary debates

Discourse of key stakeholders (students, teachers, parents) are also welcome.
Topics may include second language teaching, immersion, CLIC, English medium
teaching, and may address education at any level (pre-school, primary,
secondary or HE level). Contributions from debates in any EU country are
welcome.
