Industry Reviews
This edited volume provides much-needed research on English education in the fascinating region of Southeast Asia. The range of topics is impressive with contributions also from newer and more established scholars in the field. Readers will find the discussions enlightening for an understanding of the complex dynamics of English in the region. This volume is an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, students, and policy makers interested in language and education in Southeast Asia.
--Azirah Hashim, Universiti MalayaThis is a must-read book on English Education in Southeast Asia. In fact, the lessons learned from each national context resonate with the experiences of others in the rest of the multilingual world. Collectively, these chapters brilliantly unpack 'English' as a contested phenomenon implicated in nation-building, identity-making, everyday language use, and multilingual education, and locate spaces where it might be taught and learned competently and appropriately within local linguistic ecologies.
--Ruanni Tupas, University College LondonThis outstanding book provides one of the most complete pictures of English language teaching and learning across all eleven nations of Southeast Asia. With clear and concise descriptions of language policies and the role of English in each country, Boun and Duran shine a bright light on one of the most multilingual regions of the world. They bring together an expert group of multilingual educators and scholars with intimate personal and professional experience in each SEA nation who provide valuable research and insights across a range of ELT topics including nation building and language policy, student and teacher identities and motivations, PreK-12 and higher education contexts, and teacher training and professional development.
