Abstract:

In this volume, Janet Enever explores the complex forces that shape national
and local language education policy-making for the early introduction of
English as a foreign language at primary and pre-primary levels worldwide.
This is the first book of its kind demonstrating the extent to which English
is now perceived as a pre-requisite for participation in the global economy,
reflecting the rapid development of early start English now exploding across
Asia, Latin America, and other fast-growing economies. 

"This is a timely and important book. Professor Enever demonstrates
comprehensive knowledge of primary English policy and practice in a range of
countries and, from a sound theoretical framework, draws together evidence to
show how policies are all too often guided by short-term political
considerations rather than sound educational practice. Whilst critiquing
inappropriate practice, she also analyses the conditions which have the
potential to lead to quality - and equitable - English language programmes at
the primary level."- David Hayes, Department of Applied Linguistics, Brock
University.
