This book is about the policy-practice praxis in English language education, and draws on research from a diverse range of under-explored international settings to showcase the importance of contextual realities on how policy and practice interact. The case studies covered in the volume come from five continents (Africa, Europe, Asia, and South and North America) and cover 11 countries in total. The authors cover a wide range of themes and identify a number of issues at the interface between policy and practice. In some cases they also highlight local initiatives for navigating these issues, providing contextually-grounded guidance and experience which will be of use to teachers and teacher trainers in other settings. This book will be of interest to policy makers, EMI researchers, ELT practitioners, teacher trainers and trainees, and the broader Applied Linguistics research community.
“As an English teacher in Vietnam, I find this book provides authentic snapshots of how neoliberalism influences English learners, English teachers, and policy-makers towards the ultimate goal of preparing youth for global integration and life improvement. This book is eye-opening to me as I excitedly find the English improvement projects in other nations share the same objectives and strategies like in my home country.” (Tu Thi Cam Dang, Language Policy, Vol. 23 (2), 2024)
