Produktbeschreibung

In this volume, key thinkers on language and literature discuss the future of English in Asia. Studying subject areas such as Cultural Translation in World Englishes, Multilingual Education, English Futures and the function of Literature, English Literary Studies in Japan, and English and Social Media in Asia, the different chapters also respond to different contemporary debates and emerging trends and discourses that are hugely important for the future of English language teaching in schools across Asia. This volume reflects the widespread acknowledgement that whatever future English has will inevitably be shaped by its fate in Asia.
