Abstract:

This book investigates the relationship between English and personal and
national development, as this is both discursively promoted (particularly
through language policy) and practically realized in developing societies. It
addresses the effects that the increased use of English and the promotion of
English-language education are having in developmental contexts, and their
impact on broader educational issues, on local language ecologies and on
questions of cultural identity. It investigates these issues by drawing
together a series of original examinations and case studies by a range of
leading scholars working in this burgeoning field. The chapters focus on a
variety of contexts from around the world, and the volume as a whole surveys
and critiques the positioning and influence of English as a catalyst for
development in the 21st century.
