Abstract:

This book considers the importance of language education in a rapidly changing
world. The authors look at language education from different perspectives: the
teaching and learning of foreign or second languages; the role of literacy,
oracy and language across the curriculum; the part played by different
stakeholders in educational policy; and the current state of language teacher
education and the ways in which language is addressed in the education of
teachers of all subjects. Drawing on their extensive experience of language
education, and on case studies and data from around the world, the authors
consider how a different approach to language in education might help students
to develop the language awareness and linguistic and communicative competences
they need in order to participate fully and confidently in our increasingly
diverse societies.
