Abstract:

The spread of English is so much an integral part of globalization that it has
become an essential global literacy skill. In Asia, this poses immense
challenges to governments and English language teaching and teacher education
professions as they attempt to meet this demand from students for a high level
of English proficiency. This volume examines English language education
policies across ten Asian jurisdictions, the corresponding teacher education
policies, and how these policies affect teachers and teacher educators. Each
chapter covers a different jurisdiction, and is written by a scholar engaged
in the implementation of government policies on English language and teacher
education, providing the reader with insiders' perspectives. It gives a
fascinating glimpse into the remarkable similarities in the challenges posed
to these countries and the critical issues that have emerged from the local
responses despite their markedly different socioeconomic, political, cultural
and historical backgrounds.
