Interface between English Language Education Policies and Practice Examples from Various Contexts

“As an English teacher in Vietnam, I find this book provides authentic snapshots of how neoliberalism influences English learners, English teachers, and policy-makers towards the ultimate goal of preparing youth for global integration and life improvement. This book is eye-opening to me as I excitedly find the English improvement projects in other nations share the same objectives and strategies like in my home country.” (Tu Thi Cam Dang, Language Policy, Vol. 23 (2), 2024)
