Summary
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. Eric Enongene Ekembe is senior lecturer in the Department of English at The Higher Teacher Training College (ENS) Yaounde, Cameroon. He holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics and TESOL and is interested in postcolonial discourse in ELT and has published research articles in peered-reviewed journals. He is co-editor of Interdisciplinarity in the 21st Century Global Dispensation: Research in Language, Literature, & Education in Africa. Eric is coordinator of CAMELTA Research Group and outreach coordinator of IATEFL ReSIG. Lauren Harvey is the Assistant Director of Second Language Writing at the University of Arizona in Tucson, USA. She develops, trains new teachers for, and teaches foundations writing courses designed for students who do not speak English as their primary language. Her research focuses on the curriculum knowledge and enactment of second language writing instructors. Other interests include the teaching of English as a global language and critical memetic literacy.
