| Summary |
This book contains historical studies of the teaching of English in thirteen different countries where English is a mother tongue language or a significant second, or in some cases, a third language. The authors of the various chapters have concentrated on the place of English in a particular society and have attempted to describe how the teaching of English exists in the social and political context of that society and how it is shaped as a school subject and/or language of instruction in that context |
