Language Program Leadership in a Changing World: An Ecological Model
presents a comprehensive view of management and leadership in language
programs as situated in a complex, globalized context with rapidly
changing characteristics. The language program is described as an
extensive ecology made up of many different types of interacting
parts, which leaders of these programs must manage and balance with
strong attention to context and the future. The discussion emphasizes
the complexity of the job of leading a language program and the many
types of roles that leadership must fill in monitoring it.



The focus is on college and university English language programs, with
discussion of the place they occupy within academia and in relation to
other types of language programs (e.g. foreign language and English
composition). Both practical and theoretical in nature, the book
provides case studies and overviews of administrative issues such as
financial, data and people management. It is written for language
program leaders, faculty, and college/university administrators with
an interest in international exchange and the provision of language
support for international students and faculty. Such provision is
contextualized from the different perspectives of instruction,
academic discipline, profession, service, and business, and within
global as well as local institutional and community frames. The entire
discussion is placed in a global context of changing conditions and
priorities for education and language study.
