Abstract:

This book unravels the story of English, the language of 'the enemies', in
post-revolutionary Iran. Drawing on diverse qualitative and quantitative
fieldwork data, it examines the nation's English at the two levels of policy
and practice to determine the politics, causes, and agents of the two
diverging trends of indigenization/localization and
internationalization/Anglo-Americanization within Iran's English education.
Situating English in the nation's broader social, political, economic, and
historical contexts, the volume explores the intersection of the nation's
English education with variables such as power, economy, policy, ideology, and
information technology over the past three decades. The multidisciplinary
insights of the book will be of value to scholars of global English, education
policies and reforms and language policy as well as those who are specifically
concerned with education in Iran.
