This book investigates different ways in which neoliberal language and teaching policies have influenced the English language in global south countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. Through the three main sub themes covered by the book, namely Neoliberalism and English Language Teaching Policies, Neoliberalism Ideology as in English Language Teaching Materials, and Experiences of Neoliberal Subjects, it investigates various aspects and means through which neoliberalism is realized in a variety of contexts.

Through the first subtheme the volume covers the English language education policies of Chile, Bangladesh, India, and Morocco. The second sub theme concerns how different neoliberal values such as consumerism, entrepreneurship, and individualism are localized and constructed in the locally developed English language materials of Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The third sub theme includes studies on the impact of neoliberalization of English in relation to Colombian, Brazilian, and Pakistani stakeholders.

This book is a valuable resource for academics, postgraduate students, researchers, policy makers, educators, and practitioners who are interested in neoliberalism in English language.

Rezensionen
"This collection explores 11 English language education policies (ELEPs) involving 13 contexts from five continents and evaluates them in respect to their intended de jure goals across multiple layers of contextual realities. ... For those interested in contemporary ELEPs, the book offers so much by examining the 'understudied ELT contexts' with a wide range of political, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds with policy-makers and implementing partners having mismatched perspectives and orientations." (Muhammad Kamal Khan, Language Policy, Vol. 23 (2), 2024)
