Summary "This collection of essays and reflections starts from an analysis of the purposes of foreign language teaching and argues that these should include educational objectives which are ultimately similar to those of education for citizenship. It does so by a journey through reflections on what is possible and desirable in the classroom and how language teaching has a specific role in education systems which have long had,and often still have,the purpose of encouraging young people to identify with the nation state."--BOOK JACKET
