Abstract:

In many parts of the world the language education scenario is increasingly 
dynamic, as demographic, economic and social changes powerfully influence 
socio-political agendas in the sphere of language education. These in turn 
impact on complex issues such as linguistic pluralism, multiculturalism, and 
marginalization. This is especially so in the sphere of second language 
education where local, national and regional concerns often dominate the 
objectives underpinning policy choice and prioritisation.

This volume brings together scholars and researchers from a wide range of 
different educational contexts and turns a sociolinguistic lens on some of the 
key areas of concern for researchers in language education: critical 
awareness of power and identity issues; competence in dealing with new 
sociolinguistic repertoires, modalities and literacies; ethical concerns for all 
who are involved. The 'case study' approach enables the reader to reflect on 
and critically engage with these issues in a rich variety of contextual 
situations, and the volume as a whole provides a useful overview of (second) 
language education in the world today.
