Abstract:

The book looks into the South Asian experience of English language education
in the first decade of the 21st century by examining its policies, practices
and perspectives in Sri Lanka. It discusses the evolution of English from the
language of administration of the former South Asian colony up to its present
and intended, although poorly implemented, status as a “link-language” in Sri
Lanka. The official removal of English as the language of administration after
independence, the twists and turns of its practice in various domains over six
decades, and the views of today’s students and teachers reveal that there is
more to English language education in a post-colonial context than current
theories address. This book concentrates on what educationalists in English
Language Teaching do, the goals that curriculum designers must capture, and
how post-colonial attitudes towards English hinder the teaching of English as
a second language. This book emphasizes that the general principles of
teaching English as a second language need specific modifications at the
delivery stage in South Asian societies.
