 call for papers: English Language policy in Asia and Middle east

Call for papers Upcoming Volume in the prestigious Springer Language Policy
series http://www.springer.com/series/6209<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Espringer%2Ecom%2Fseries%2F6209&urlhash=MaOw&_t=tracking_anet>
This new volume, due for publication in late 2013 is part of the Language
Policy series. English Education Policy in Asia and the Middle East This
volume includes comprehensive state-of-the-art reviews of Asian and Middle
Eastern countries’ English education policies, giving clear assessments of
the current policies and likely future trends. The book gives a general
description of English education policies in the respective countries, and
then delves into the 'nuts and bolts' of the English education practice in
the education system as a whole, in the schools, in the curriculum and in
teaching. Essays cover issues such as the balance between English learning
and the acquisition of the national language, as well as political,
cultural, economic and technical aspects that strengthen or weaken the
learning of English.


The book will be a critical read for policy makers, and will also help
English educators and administrators to better understand their role in the
implementation of the policies.


Information for writers
Each essay should explore one country in the region and supply a focussed
and critical study that includes clear assessments of past, present and
future English education policies. Problems, limitations, advantages and
disadvantages of each countries policy should be elucidated and writers
should supply background information including political, economic and
cultural elements that relate to the learning of English.
It may be useful if writers also compare, to some extent, the policies and
level of English with other countries in the region.
