Abstract:

Educational linguistics is transcultural, with research in the field adopting
an international scope. Educational systems, on the contrary, are
culture-bound. As a consequence, actual teaching differs across countries, and
sometimes even among provinces, local educational authorities, and schools.
However, a globalized world needs to share the various meanings of “knowing a
language” and “teaching a language”, as language is the main factor of both
cultural identity and national and international interaction. The framework
offered here is built on eight “hypotheses”, logical models that provide the
potential common core of a non-culture-bound theory of language education and
of language teaching. The book thus suggests a common terminology, some common
principles, and a basic paradigm to be shared in both theoretical and
practical research in edu-linguistics, consequently going beyond the borders
implied by such titles as European framework, American standards, and Chinese
guidelines.
