N2  - This book focuses on private tutoring (sometimes also known as shadow education), an important but neglected topic in applied linguistics and language education research. Private tutoring has become a popular out-of-school learning activity worldwide. While its scope and definition are expanding, private tutoring commonly refers to the paid service students used to supplement their learning of academic subjects at school outside school hours (Yung, 2019). Around the world, English language is one of the most popularly enrolled subjects in private tutoring, including both English as a first language and English as an additional language (EAL). Despite its popularity and implications for theories, practices, and policies, research on English private tutoring is still in its infancy. This book aims to provide an international perspective on the interface between applied linguistics and comparative education and open up an agenda for discussion in theories, practices, and policies in English language teaching (ELT). It will be of interest to students, scholars, and policy-makers in these and related areas. Kevin Wai Ho Yung is an associate professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the Education University of Hong Kong. Anas Hajar is an associate professor in the Graduate School of Education at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan.
